Chapter 86, 17 verses
By the Sky and the Night - Visitant (therein); -
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والسماء والطارق
Waalssamai waalttariqi
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ
And what will explain to thee what the Night - Visitant is? -
وما أدراك ما الطارق
Wama adraka ma alttariqu
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ
(It is) the Star of piercing brightness; -
النجم الثاقب
Alnnajmu alththaqibu
ٱلنَّجْمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ
There is no soul but has a protector over it.
إن كل نفس لما عليها حافظ
In kullu nafsin lamma AAalayha hafithun
إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ
Now let man but think from what he is created!
فلينظر الإنسان مم خلق
Falyanthuri alinsanu mimma khuliqa
فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ
He is created from a drop emitted -
خلق من ماء دافق
Khuliqa min main dafiqin
خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٍ دَافِقٍ
Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs:
يخرج من بين الصلب والترائب
Yakhruju min bayni alssulbi waalttaraibi
يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ ٱلصُّلْبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ
Surely (Allah) is able to bring him back (to life)!
إنه على رجعه لقادر
Innahu AAala rajAAihi laqadirun
إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٌ
The Day that (all) things secret will be tested,
يوم تبلى السرائر
Yawma tubla alssarairu
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ
(Man) will have no power, and no helper.
فما له من قوة ولا ناصر
Fama lahu min quwwatin wala nasirin
فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ
By the Firmament which returns (in its round),
والسماء ذات الرجع
Waalssamai thati alrrajAAi
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجْعِ
And by the Earth which opens out (for the gushing of springs or the sprouting of vegetation), -
والأرض ذات الصدع
Waalardi thati alssadAAi
وَٱلْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدْعِ
Behold this is the Word that distinguishes (Good from Evil):
إنه لقول فصل
Innahu laqawlun faslun
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ
It is not a thing for amusement.
وما هو بالهزل
Wama huwa bialhazli
وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلْهَزْلِ
As for them, they are but plotting a scheme,
إنهم يكيدون كيدا
Innahum yakeedoona kaydan
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا
And I am planning a scheme.
وأكيد كيدا
Waakeedu kaydan
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا
Therefore grant a delay to the Unbelievers: Give respite to them gently (for awhile).
فمهل الكافرين أمهلهم رويدا
Famahhili alkafireena amhilhum ruwaydan
فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا
