بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ
English Translation
CONSIDER the heavens and that which comes in the night!
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ
English Translation
And what could make thee conceive what it is that comes in the night?
ٱلنَّجْمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ
English Translation
It is the star that pierces through [life's] darkness:
إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍۢ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌۭ
English Translation
[for] no human being has ever been left unguarded.
فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ
English Translation
LET MAN, then, observe out of what he has been created:
خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٍۢ دَافِقٍۢ
English Translation
he has been created out of a seminal fluid
يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ ٱلصُّلْبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ
English Translation
issuing from between the loins [of man] and the pelvic arch [of woman].
إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٌۭ
English Translation
Now, verily, He [who thus creates man in the first instance] is well able to bring him back [to life]
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ
English Translation
on the Day when all secrets will be laid bare,
فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٍۢ وَلَا نَاصِرٍۢ
English Translation
and [man] will have neither strength nor helper!
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجْعِ
English Translation
Consider the heavens, ever-revolving,
وَٱلْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدْعِ
English Translation
and the earth, bursting forth with plants!
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلٌۭ فَصْلٌۭ
English Translation
BEHOLD, this [divine writ] is indeed a word that between truth and falsehood,
وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلْهَزْلِ
English Translation
and is no idle tale.
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًۭا
English Translation
Behold, they [who refuse to accept it] devise many a false argument [to disprove its truth];
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًۭا
English Translation
but I shall bring all their scheming to nought.
فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا
English Translation
Let, then, the deniers of the truth have their will: let them have their will for a little while.
