مِنْ نُطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُ فَقَدَّرَهُ
19. From a sperm-drop He created him and destined for him;
ثُمَّ السَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُ
20. Then He eased the way for him;
فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالْخُنَّسِ
15. So I swear by the retreating stars -
الْجَوَارِ الْكُنَّسِ
16. Those that run [their courses] and disappear -
وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا عَسْعَسَ
17. And by the night as it closes in
وَالصُّبْحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ
18. And by the dawn when it breathes
وَمَا صَاحِبُكُمْ بِمَجْنُونٍ
22. And your companion is not [at all] mad.
وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى الْغَيْبِ بِضَنِينٍ
24. And Muhammad is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen.
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا كَانُوا مِنَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا يَضْحَكُونَ
29. Indeed, those who committed crimes used to laugh at those who believed.
وَإِذَا مَرُّوا بِهِمْ يَتَغَامَزُونَ
30. And when they passed by them, they would exchange derisive glances.
