وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ﴿١﴾

Waalssamai waalttariqi

By the sky and the night comer

وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ﴿٢﴾

Wama adraka ma alttariqu

And what can make you know what is the night comer

ٱلنَّجۡمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ﴿٣﴾

Alnnajmu alththaqibu

It is the piercing star

إِن كُلُّ نَفۡسٖ لَّمَّا عَلَيۡهَا حَافِظٞ﴿٤﴾

In kullu nafsin lamma AAalayha hafithun

There is no soul but that it has over it a protector

فَلۡيَنظُرِ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ﴿٥﴾

Falyanthuri alinsanu mimma khuliqa

So let man observe from what he was created

خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٖ دَافِقٖ﴿٦﴾

Khuliqa min main dafiqin

He was created from a fluid, ejected

يَخۡرُجُ مِنۢ بَيۡنِ ٱلصُّلۡبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ﴿٧﴾

Yakhruju min bayni alssulbi waalttaraibi

Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs

إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجۡعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٞ﴿٨﴾

Innahu AAala rajAAihi laqadirun

Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able

يَوۡمَ تُبۡلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ﴿٩﴾

Yawma tubla alssarairu

The Day when secrets will be put on trial

فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٖ وَلَا نَاصِرٖ﴿١٠﴾

Fama lahu min quwwatin wala nasirin

Then man will have no power or any helper

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجۡعِ﴿١١﴾

Waalssamai thati alrrajAAi

By the sky which returns [rain]

وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدۡعِ﴿١٢﴾

Waalardi thati alssadAAi

And [by] the earth which cracks open

إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوۡلٞ فَصۡلٞ﴿١٣﴾

Innahu laqawlun faslun

Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement

وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلۡهَزۡلِ﴿١٤﴾

Wama huwa bialhazli

And it is not amusement

إِنَّهُمۡ يَكِيدُونَ كَيۡدٗا﴿١٥﴾

Innahum yakeedoona kaydan

Indeed, they are planning a plan

وَأَكِيدُ كَيۡدٗا﴿١٦﴾

Waakeedu kaydan

But I am planning a plan

فَمَهِّلِ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ أَمۡهِلۡهُمۡ رُوَيۡدَۢا﴿١٧﴾

Famahhili alkafireena amhilhum ruwaydan

So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile
