بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ
Wassamaaa'i wattaariq
By the sky and the night comer -
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ
Wa maaa adraaka mattaariq
And what can make you know what is the night comer?
ٱلنَّجْمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ
Annajmus saaqib
It is the piercing star -
إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍۢ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌۭ
In kullu nafsil lammaa 'alaihaa haafiz
There is no soul but that it has over it a protector.
فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ
Fal yanzuril insaanu mimma khuliq
So let man observe from what he was created.
خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٍۢ دَافِقٍۢ
Khuliqa mim maaa'in daafiq
He was created from a fluid, ejected,
يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ ٱلصُّلْبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ
Yakhruju mim bainissulbi wat taraaa'ib
Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.
إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٌۭ
Innahoo 'alaa raj'ihee laqaadir
Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able.
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ
Yawma tublas saraaa'ir
The Day when secrets will be put on trial,
فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٍۢ وَلَا نَاصِرٍۢ
Famaa lahoo min quwwatinw wa laa naasir
Then man will have no power or any helper.
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجْعِ
Wassamaaa'i zaatir raj'
By the sky which returns [rain]
وَٱلْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدْعِ
Wal ardi zaatis sad'
And [by] the earth which cracks open,
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلٌۭ فَصْلٌۭ
Innahoo laqawlun fasl
Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement,
وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلْهَزْلِ
Wa maa huwa bil hazl
And it is not amusement.
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًۭا
Innahum yakeedoona kaidaa
Indeed, they are planning a plan,
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًۭا
Wa akeedu kaidaa
But I am planning a plan.
فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا
Famahhilil kaafireena amhilhum ruwaidaa
So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile.
