At-Taariq
The Morning Star
الطارق
وَالسَّمَآءِ وَالطَّارِقِۙ
Waalssamai waalttariqi
By the sky and the night comer
وَمَا٘ اَدۡرٰىكَ مَا الطَّارِقُۙ
Wama adraka ma alttariqu
And what can make you know what is the night comer
النَّجۡمُ الثَّاقِبُۙ
Alnnajmu alththaqibu
It is the piercing star
اِنۡ كُلُّ نَفۡسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيۡهَا حَافِظٌؕ
In kullu nafsin lamma AAalayha hafithun
There is no soul but that it has over it a protector
فَلۡيَنۡظُرِ الۡاِنۡسَانُ مِمَّ خُلِقَؕ
Falyanthuri alinsanu mimma khuliqa
So let man observe from what he was created
خُلِقَ مِنۡ مَّآءٍ دَافِقٍۙ
Khuliqa min main dafiqin
He was created from a fluid, ejected
يَّخۡرُجُ مِنۭۡ بَيۡنِ الصُّلۡبِ وَالتَّرَآئِبِؕ
Yakhruju min bayni alssulbi waalttaraibi
Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs
اِنَّهٗ عَلٰي رَجۡعِهٖ لَقَادِرٌؕ
Innahu AAala rajAAihi laqadirun
Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able
يَوۡمَ تُبۡلَي السَّرَآئِرُۙ
Yawma tubla alssarairu
The Day when secrets will be put on trial
فَمَا لَهٗ مِنۡ قُوَّةٍ وَّلَا نَاصِرٍؕ
Fama lahu min quwwatin wala nasirin
Then man will have no power or any helper
وَالسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ الرَّجۡعِۙ
Waalssamai thati alrrajAAi
By the sky which returns [rain]
وَالۡاَرۡضِ ذَاتِ الصَّدۡعِۙ
Waalardi thati alssadAAi
And [by] the earth which cracks open
اِنَّهٗ لَقَوۡلٌ فَصۡلٌۙ
Innahu laqawlun faslun
Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement
وَّمَا هُوَ بِالۡهَزۡلِؕ
Wama huwa bialhazli
And it is not amusement
اِنَّهُمۡ يَكِيۡدُوۡنَ كَيۡدًاۙ
Innahum yakeedoona kaydan
Indeed, they are planning a plan
وَّاَكِيۡدُ كَيۡدًاۚۖ
Waakeedu kaydan
But I am planning a plan
فَمَهِّلِ الۡكٰفِرِيۡنَ اَمۡهِلۡهُمۡ رُوَيۡدًاࣖ
Famahhili alkafireena amhilhum ruwaydan
So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile
