By the Sky and the Night - Visitant (therein); -
Waalssamai waalttariqi
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالسَّمَاءِ وَالطَّارِقِ
And what will explain to thee what the Night - Visitant is? -
Wama adraka ma alttariqu
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الطَّارِقُ
(It is) the Star of piercing brightness; -
Alnnajmu alththaqibu
ٱلنَّجْمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ
النَّجْمُ الثَّاقِبُ
There is no soul but has a protector over it.
In kullu nafsin lamma AAalayha hafithun
إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ
إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ
Now let man but think from what he is created!
Falyanthuri alinsanu mimma khuliqa
فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ
فَلْيَنظُرِ الْإِنسَانُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ
He is created from a drop emitted -
Khuliqa min main dafiqin
خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٍ دَافِقٍ
خُلِقَ مِن مَّاءٍ دَافِقٍ
Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs:
Yakhruju min bayni alssulbi waalttaraibi
يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ ٱلصُّلْبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ
يَخْرُجُ مِن بَيْنِ الصُّلْبِ وَالتَّرَائِبِ
Surely (Allah) is able to bring him back (to life)!
Innahu AAala rajAAihi laqadirun
إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٌ
إِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِ لَقَادِرٌ
The Day that (all) things secret will be tested,
Yawma tubla alssarairu
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى السَّرَائِرُ
(Man) will have no power, and no helper.
Fama lahu min quwwatin wala nasirin
فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ
فَمَا لَهُ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ
By the Firmament which returns (in its round),
Waalssamai thati alrrajAAi
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجْعِ
وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الرَّجْعِ
And by the Earth which opens out (for the gushing of springs or the sprouting of vegetation), -
Waalardi thati alssadAAi
وَٱلْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدْعِ
وَالْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ الصَّدْعِ
Behold this is the Word that distinguishes (Good from Evil):
Innahu laqawlun faslun
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ
إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ
It is not a thing for amusement.
Wama huwa bialhazli
وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلْهَزْلِ
وَمَا هُوَ بِالْهَزْلِ
As for them, they are but plotting a scheme,
Innahum yakeedoona kaydan
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا
And I am planning a scheme.
Waakeedu kaydan
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا
Therefore grant a delay to the Unbelievers: Give respite to them gently (for awhile).
Famahhili alkafireena amhilhum ruwaydan
فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا
فَمَهِّلِ الْكَافِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًا
