Chapter 86, 17 verses
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالسَّمَاءِ وَالطَّارِقِ
Waalssamai waalttariqi
I swear by the heaven and the comer by night;
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الطَّارِقُ
Wama adraka ma alttariqu
And what will make you know what the comer by night is?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ
النَّجْمُ الثَّاقِبُ
Alnnajmu alththaqibu
The star of piercing brightness;
ٱلنَّجْمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ
إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ
In kullu nafsin lamma AAalayha hafithun
There is not a soul but over it is a keeper.
إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ
فَلْيَنظُرِ الْإِنسَانُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ
Falyanthuri alinsanu mimma khuliqa
So let man consider of what he is created:
فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ
خُلِقَ مِن مَّاءٍ دَافِقٍ
Khuliqa min main dafiqin
He is created of water pouring forth,
خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٍ دَافِقٍ
يَخْرُجُ مِن بَيْنِ الصُّلْبِ وَالتَّرَائِبِ
Yakhruju min bayni alssulbi waalttaraibi
Coming from between the back and the ribs.
يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ ٱلصُّلْبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ
إِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِ لَقَادِرٌ
Innahu AAala rajAAihi laqadirun
Most surely He is able to return him (to life).
إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٌ
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى السَّرَائِرُ
Yawma tubla alssarairu
On the day when hidden things shall be made manifest,
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ
فَمَا لَهُ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ
Fama lahu min quwwatin wala nasirin
He shall have neither strength nor helper.
فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ
وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الرَّجْعِ
Waalssamai thati alrrajAAi
I swear by the raingiving heavens,
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجْعِ
وَالْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ الصَّدْعِ
Waalardi thati alssadAAi
And the earth splitting (with plants);
وَٱلْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدْعِ
إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ
Innahu laqawlun faslun
Most surely it is a decisive word,
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ
وَمَا هُوَ بِالْهَزْلِ
Wama huwa bialhazli
And it is no joke.
وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلْهَزْلِ
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا
Innahum yakeedoona kaydan
Surely they will make a scheme,
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا
Waakeedu kaydan
And I (too) will make a scheme.
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا
فَمَهِّلِ الْكَافِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًا
Famahhili alkafireena amhilhum ruwaydan
So grant the unbelievers a respite: let them alone for a while.
فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا
