86. At-Tariq — The Night Star
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ86:1
Wassamaaa'i wattaariq
By the sky and the night comer -
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ86:2
Wa maaa adraaka mattaariq
And what can make you know what is the night comer?
ٱلنَّجْمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ86:3
Annajmus saaqib
It is the piercing star -
إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍۢ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌۭ86:4
In kullu nafsil lammaa 'alaihaa haafiz
There is no soul but that it has over it a protector.
فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ86:5
Fal yanzuril insaanu mimma khuliq
So let man observe from what he was created.
خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٍۢ دَافِقٍۢ86:6
Khuliqa mim maaa'in daafiq
He was created from a fluid, ejected,
يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ ٱلصُّلْبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ86:7
Yakhruju mim bainissulbi wat taraaa'ib
Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.
إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٌۭ86:8
Innahoo 'alaa raj'ihee laqaadir
Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able.
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ86:9
Yawma tublas saraaa'ir
The Day when secrets will be put on trial,
فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٍۢ وَلَا نَاصِرٍۢ86:10
Famaa lahoo min quwwatinw wa laa naasir
Then man will have no power or any helper.
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجْعِ86:11
Wassamaaa'i zaatir raj'
By the sky which returns [rain]
وَٱلْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدْعِ86:12
Wal ardi zaatis sad'
And [by] the earth which cracks open,
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلٌۭ فَصْلٌۭ86:13
Innahoo laqawlun fasl
Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement,
وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلْهَزْلِ86:14
Wa maa huwa bil hazl
And it is not amusement.
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًۭا86:15
Innahum yakeedoona kaidaa
Indeed, they are planning a plan,
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًۭا86:16
Wa akeedu kaidaa
But I am planning a plan.
فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا86:17
Famahhilil kaafireena amhilhum ruwaidaa
So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile.
