وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا عَسْعَسَ
17. And by the night as it closes in
وَالصُّبْحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ
18. And by the dawn when it breathes
فِي لَوْحٍ مَحْفُوظٍ
22. [Inscribed] in a Preserved Slate.
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 -
وَالْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ الصَّدْعِ
12. And [by] the earth which cracks open,
وَإِلَى السَّمَاءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ
18. And at the sky - how it is raised?
وَإِلَى الْجِبَالِ كَيْفَ نُصِبَتْ
19. And at the mountains - how they are erected?
وَإِلَى الْأَرْضِ كَيْفَ سُطِحَتْ
20. And at the earth - how it is spread out?
