By the Sky and the Night - Visitant (therein); -
Waalssamai waalttariqi
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالسَّمَاءِ وَالطَّارِقِ
I swear by the heaven and the comer by night;
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ
And what will explain to thee what the Night - Visitant is? -
Wama adraka ma alttariqu
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الطَّارِقُ
And what will make you know what the comer by night is?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ
(It is) the Star of piercing brightness; -
Alnnajmu alththaqibu
النَّجْمُ الثَّاقِبُ
The star of piercing brightness;
ٱلنَّجْمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ
There is no soul but has a protector over it.
In kullu nafsin lamma AAalayha hafithun
إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ
There is not a soul but over it is a keeper.
إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ
Now let man but think from what he is created!
Falyanthuri alinsanu mimma khuliqa
فَلْيَنظُرِ الْإِنسَانُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ
So let man consider of what he is created:
فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ
He is created from a drop emitted -
Khuliqa min main dafiqin
خُلِقَ مِن مَّاءٍ دَافِقٍ
He is created of water pouring forth,
خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٍ دَافِقٍ
Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs:
Yakhruju min bayni alssulbi waalttaraibi
يَخْرُجُ مِن بَيْنِ الصُّلْبِ وَالتَّرَائِبِ
Coming from between the back and the ribs.
يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ ٱلصُّلْبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ
Surely (Allah) is able to bring him back (to life)!
Innahu AAala rajAAihi laqadirun
إِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِ لَقَادِرٌ
Most surely He is able to return him (to life).
إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٌ
The Day that (all) things secret will be tested,
Yawma tubla alssarairu
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى السَّرَائِرُ
On the day when hidden things shall be made manifest,
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ
(Man) will have no power, and no helper.
Fama lahu min quwwatin wala nasirin
فَمَا لَهُ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ
He shall have neither strength nor helper.
فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ
By the Firmament which returns (in its round),
Waalssamai thati alrrajAAi
وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الرَّجْعِ
I swear by the raingiving heavens,
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجْعِ
And by the Earth which opens out (for the gushing of springs or the sprouting of vegetation), -
Waalardi thati alssadAAi
وَالْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ الصَّدْعِ
And the earth splitting (with plants);
وَٱلْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدْعِ
Behold this is the Word that distinguishes (Good from Evil):
Innahu laqawlun faslun
إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ
Most surely it is a decisive word,
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ
It is not a thing for amusement.
Wama huwa bialhazli
وَمَا هُوَ بِالْهَزْلِ
And it is no joke.
وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلْهَزْلِ
As for them, they are but plotting a scheme,
Innahum yakeedoona kaydan
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا
Surely they will make a scheme,
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا
And I am planning a scheme.
Waakeedu kaydan
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا
And I (too) will make a scheme.
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا
Therefore grant a delay to the Unbelievers: Give respite to them gently (for awhile).
Famahhili alkafireena amhilhum ruwaydan
فَمَهِّلِ الْكَافِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًا
So grant the unbelievers a respite: let them alone for a while.
فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا
