Waalssamai waalttariqi
By the sky and the night comer -
I swear by the heaven and the comer by night;

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ

Waalssamai waalttariqi
By the sky and the night comer -
I swear by the heaven and the comer by night;
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والسماء والطارق
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ
Wama adraka ma alttariqu
And what can make you know what is the night comer?
And what will make you know what the comer by night is?
وما أدراك ما الطارق
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ
Alnnajmu alththaqibu
It is the piercing star -
The star of piercing brightness;
النجم الثاقب
ٱلنَّجْمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ
In kullu nafsin lamma AAalayha hafithun
There is no soul but that it has over it a protector.
There is not a soul but over it is a keeper.
إن كل نفس لما عليها حافظ
إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ
Falyanthuri alinsanu mimma khuliqa
So let man observe from what he was created.
So let man consider of what he is created:
فلينظر الإنسان مم خلق
فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ
Khuliqa min main dafiqin
He was created from a fluid, ejected,
He is created of water pouring forth,
خلق من ماء دافق
خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٍ دَافِقٍ
Yakhruju min bayni alssulbi waalttaraibi
Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.
Coming from between the back and the ribs.
يخرج من بين الصلب والترائب
يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ ٱلصُّلْبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ
Innahu AAala rajAAihi laqadirun
Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able.
Most surely He is able to return him (to life).
إنه على رجعه لقادر
إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٌ
Yawma tubla alssarairu
The Day when secrets will be put on trial,
On the day when hidden things shall be made manifest,
يوم تبلى السرائر
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ
Fama lahu min quwwatin wala nasirin
Then man will have no power or any helper.
He shall have neither strength nor helper.
فما له من قوة ولا ناصر
فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ
Waalssamai thati alrrajAAi
By the sky which returns [rain]
I swear by the raingiving heavens,
والسماء ذات الرجع
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجْعِ
Waalardi thati alssadAAi
And [by] the earth which cracks open,
And the earth splitting (with plants);
والأرض ذات الصدع
وَٱلْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدْعِ
Innahu laqawlun faslun
Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement,
Most surely it is a decisive word,
إنه لقول فصل
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ
Wama huwa bialhazli
And it is not amusement.
And it is no joke.
وما هو بالهزل
وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلْهَزْلِ
Innahum yakeedoona kaydan
Indeed, they are planning a plan,
Surely they will make a scheme,
إنهم يكيدون كيدا
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا
Waakeedu kaydan
But I am planning a plan.
And I (too) will make a scheme.
وأكيد كيدا
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا
Famahhili alkafireena amhilhum ruwaydan
So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile.
So grant the unbelievers a respite: let them alone for a while.
فمهل الكافرين أمهلهم رويدا
فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا
