بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
وَٱلسَّمَآءِوَٱلطَّارِقِ١
Wassamaaa'i wattaariq
By the sky and the night comer -
وَمَآأَدْرَىٰكَمَاٱلطَّارِقُ٢
Wa maaa adraaka mattaariq
And what can make you know what is the night comer?
ٱلنَّجْمُٱلثَّاقِبُ٣
Annajmus saaqib
It is the piercing star -
إِنكُلُّنَفْسٍۢلَّمَّاعَلَيْهَاحَافِظٌۭ٤
In kullu nafsil lammaa 'alaihaa haafiz
There is no soul but that it has over it a protector.
فَلْيَنظُرِٱلْإِنسَـٰنُمِمَّخُلِقَ٥
Fal yanzuril insaanu mimma khuliq
So let man observe from what he was created.
خُلِقَمِنمَّآءٍۢدَافِقٍۢ٦
Khuliqa mim maaa'in daafiq
He was created from a fluid, ejected,
يَخْرُجُمِنۢبَيْنِٱلصُّلْبِوَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ٧
Yakhruju mim bainissulbi wat taraaa'ib
Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.
إِنَّهُۥعَلَىٰرَجْعِهِۦلَقَادِرٌۭ٨
Innahoo 'alaa raj'ihee laqaadir
Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able.
يَوْمَتُبْلَىٱلسَّرَآئِرُ٩
Yawma tublas saraaa'ir
The Day when secrets will be put on trial,
فَمَالَهُۥمِنقُوَّةٍۢوَلَانَاصِرٍۢ١٠
Famaa lahoo min quwwatinw wa laa naasir
Then man will have no power or any helper.
وَٱلسَّمَآءِذَاتِٱلرَّجْعِ١١
Wassamaaa'i zaatir raj'
By the sky which returns [rain]
وَٱلْأَرْضِذَاتِٱلصَّدْعِ١٢
Wal ardi zaatis sad'
And [by] the earth which cracks open,
إِنَّهُۥلَقَوْلٌۭفَصْلٌۭ١٣
Innahoo laqawlun fasl
Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement,
وَمَاهُوَبِٱلْهَزْلِ١٤
Wa maa huwa bil hazl
And it is not amusement.
إِنَّهُمْيَكِيدُونَكَيْدًۭا١٥
Innahum yakeedoona kaidaa
Indeed, they are planning a plan,
وَأَكِيدُكَيْدًۭا١٦
Wa akeedu kaidaa
But I am planning a plan.
فَمَهِّلِٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَأَمْهِلْهُمْرُوَيْدًۢا١٧
Famahhilil kaafireena amhilhum ruwaidaa
So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile.
