Chapter 86, 17 verses
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ
Waalssamai waalttariqi
By the sky and the night comer -
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالسَّمَاءِ وَالطَّارِقِ
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ
Wama adraka ma alttariqu
And what can make you know what is the night comer?
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الطَّارِقُ
ٱلنَّجْمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ
Alnnajmu alththaqibu
It is the piercing star -
النَّجْمُ الثَّاقِبُ
إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ
In kullu nafsin lamma AAalayha hafithun
There is no soul but that it has over it a protector.
إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ
فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ
Falyanthuri alinsanu mimma khuliqa
So let man observe from what he was created.
فَلْيَنظُرِ الْإِنسَانُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ
خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٍ دَافِقٍ
Khuliqa min main dafiqin
He was created from a fluid, ejected,
خُلِقَ مِن مَّاءٍ دَافِقٍ
يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ ٱلصُّلْبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ
Yakhruju min bayni alssulbi waalttaraibi
Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.
يَخْرُجُ مِن بَيْنِ الصُّلْبِ وَالتَّرَائِبِ
إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٌ
Innahu AAala rajAAihi laqadirun
Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able.
إِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِ لَقَادِرٌ
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ
Yawma tubla alssarairu
The Day when secrets will be put on trial,
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى السَّرَائِرُ
فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ
Fama lahu min quwwatin wala nasirin
Then man will have no power or any helper.
فَمَا لَهُ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجْعِ
Waalssamai thati alrrajAAi
By the sky which returns [rain]
وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الرَّجْعِ
وَٱلْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدْعِ
Waalardi thati alssadAAi
And [by] the earth which cracks open,
وَالْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ الصَّدْعِ
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ
Innahu laqawlun faslun
Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement,
إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ
وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلْهَزْلِ
Wama huwa bialhazli
And it is not amusement.
وَمَا هُوَ بِالْهَزْلِ
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا
Innahum yakeedoona kaydan
Indeed, they are planning a plan,
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا
Waakeedu kaydan
But I am planning a plan.
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا
فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا
Famahhili alkafireena amhilhum ruwaydan
So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile.
فَمَهِّلِ الْكَافِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًا
