Waalssamai waalttariqi
By the sky and the night comer -
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والسماء والطارق
Wama adraka ma alttariqu
And what can make you know what is the night comer?
وما أدراك ما الطارق
Alnnajmu alththaqibu
It is the piercing star -
النجم الثاقب
In kullu nafsin lamma AAalayha hafithun
There is no soul but that it has over it a protector.
إن كل نفس لما عليها حافظ
Falyanthuri alinsanu mimma khuliqa
So let man observe from what he was created.
فلينظر الإنسان مم خلق
Khuliqa min main dafiqin
He was created from a fluid, ejected,
خلق من ماء دافق
Yakhruju min bayni alssulbi waalttaraibi
Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.
يخرج من بين الصلب والترائب
Innahu AAala rajAAihi laqadirun
Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able.
إنه على رجعه لقادر
Yawma tubla alssarairu
The Day when secrets will be put on trial,
يوم تبلى السرائر
Fama lahu min quwwatin wala nasirin
Then man will have no power or any helper.
فما له من قوة ولا ناصر
Waalssamai thati alrrajAAi
By the sky which returns [rain]
والسماء ذات الرجع
Waalardi thati alssadAAi
And [by] the earth which cracks open,
والأرض ذات الصدع
Innahu laqawlun faslun
Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement,
إنه لقول فصل
Wama huwa bialhazli
And it is not amusement.
وما هو بالهزل
Innahum yakeedoona kaydan
Indeed, they are planning a plan,
إنهم يكيدون كيدا
Waakeedu kaydan
But I am planning a plan.
وأكيد كيدا
Famahhili alkafireena amhilhum ruwaydan
So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile.
فمهل الكافرين أمهلهم رويدا
