سُورَةُ الطَّارِقِ

By the sky and the night comer -

Wassamaaa'i wattaariq

And what can make you know what is the night comer?

Wa maaa adraaka mattaariq

It is the piercing star -

Annajmus saaqib

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

In kullu nafsil lammaa 'alaihaa haafiz

So let man observe from what he was created.

Fal yanzuril insaanu mimma khuliq

He was created from a fluid, ejected,

Khuliqa mim maaa'in daafiq

Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.

Yakhruju mim bainissulbi wat taraaa'ib

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

Innahoo 'alaa raj'ihee laqaadir

The Day when secrets will be put on trial,

Yawma tublas saraaa'ir

Then man will have no power or any helper.

Famaa lahoo min quwwatinw wa laa naasir

By the sky which returns [rain]

Wassamaaa'i zaatir raj'

And [by] the earth which cracks open,

Wal ardi zaatis sad'

Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement,

Innahoo laqawlun fasl

And it is not amusement.

Wa maa huwa bil hazl

Indeed, they are planning a plan,

Innahum yakeedoona kaidaa

But I am planning a plan.

Wa akeedu kaidaa

So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile.

Famahhilil kaafireena amhilhum ruwaidaa
