আত তারিক (রাত্রে আত্মপ্রকাশকারী)

1 I swear by the heaven and the comer by night;

1 Waalssamai waalttariqi

2 And what will make you know what the comer by night is?

2 Wama adraka ma alttariqu

3 The star of piercing brightness;

3 Alnnajmu alththaqibu

4 There is not a soul but over it is a keeper.

4 In kullu nafsin lamma AAalayha hafithun

5 So let man consider of what he is created:

5 Falyanthuri alinsanu mimma khuliqa

6 He is created of water pouring forth,

6 Khuliqa min main dafiqin

7 Coming from between the back and the ribs.

7 Yakhruju min bayni alssulbi waalttaraibi

8 Most surely He is able to return him (to life).

8 Innahu AAala rajAAihi laqadirun

9 On the day when hidden things shall be made manifest,

9 Yawma tubla alssarairu

10 He shall have neither strength nor helper.

10 Fama lahu min quwwatin wala nasirin

11 I swear by the raingiving heavens,

11 Waalssamai thati alrrajAAi

12 And the earth splitting (with plants);

12 Waalardi thati alssadAAi

13 Most surely it is a decisive word,

13 Innahu laqawlun faslun

14 And it is no joke.

14 Wama huwa bialhazli

15 Surely they will make a scheme,

15 Innahum yakeedoona kaydan

16 And I (too) will make a scheme.

16 Waakeedu kaydan

17 So grant the unbelievers a respite: let them alone for a while.

17 Famahhili alkafireena amhilhum ruwaydan
