আল তারিক্

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the heaven and the Morning Star

1 By the sky and the night comer -

2 - Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is!

2 And what can make you know what is the night comer?

3 - The piercing Star!

3 It is the piercing star -

4 No human soul but hath a guardian over it.

4 There is no soul but that it has over it a protector.

5 So let man consider from what he is created.

5 So let man observe from what he was created.

6 He is created from a gushing fluid

6 He was created from a fluid, ejected,

7 That issued from between the loins and ribs.

7 Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.

8 Lo! He verily is Able to return him (unto life)

8 Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able.

9 On the day when hidden thoughts shall be searched out.

9 The Day when secrets will be put on trial,

10 Then will he have no might nor any helper.

10 Then man will have no power or any helper.

11 By the heaven which giveth the returning rain,

11 By the sky which returns [rain]

12 And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and plants)

12 And [by] the earth which cracks open,

13 Lo! this (Qur'an) is a conclusive word,

13 Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement,

14 It is no pleasantry.

14 And it is not amusement.

15 Lo! they plot a plot (against thee, O Muhammad)

15 Indeed, they are planning a plan,

16 And I plot a plot (against them).

16 But I am planning a plan.

17 So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal thou gently with them for a while.

17 So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile.
