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