وَالسَّمَاءِ وَالطَّارِقِ
1. By the sky and the night comer -
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الطَّارِقُ
2. And what can make you know what is the night comer?
النَّجْمُ الثَّاقِبُ
3. It is the piercing star -
إِنْ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ
4. There is no soul but that it has over it a protector.
فَلْيَنْظُرِ الْإِنْسَانُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ
5. So let man observe from what he was created.
خُلِقَ مِنْ مَاءٍ دَافِقٍ
6. He was created from a fluid, ejected,
يَخْرُجُ مِنْ بَيْنِ الصُّلْبِ وَالتَّرَائِبِ
7. Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.
إِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِ لَقَادِرٌ
8. Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able.
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى السَّرَائِرُ
9. The Day when secrets will be put on trial,
فَمَا لَهُ مِنْ قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ
10. Then man will have no power or any helper.
