Surah At-Tariq

وَالسَّمَآءِ وَالطَّارِقِ۝١

By the sky and the night comer -

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا الطَّارِقُ۝٢

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

النَّجْمُ الثَّاقِبُ۝٣

It is the piercing star -

إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍۢ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌۭ۝٤

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

فَلْيَنظُرِ الْإِنسَٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ۝٥

So let man observe from what he was created.

خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٍۢ دَافِقٍۢ۝٦

He was created from a fluid, ejected,

يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ الصُّلْبِ وَالتَّرَآئِبِ۝٧

Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.

إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٌۭ۝٨

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

يَوْمَ تُبْلَى السَّرَآئِرُ۝٩

The Day when secrets will be put on trial,

فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٍۢ وَلَا نَاصِرٍۢ۝١٠

Then man will have no power or any helper.

وَالسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ الرَّجْعِ۝١١

By the sky which returns [rain]

وَالْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ الصَّدْعِ۝١٢

And [by] the earth which cracks open,

إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلٌۭ فَصْلٌۭ۝١٣

Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement,

وَمَا هُوَ بِالْهَزْلِ۝١٤

And it is not amusement.

إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًۭا۝١٥

Indeed, they are planning a plan,

وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًۭا۝١٦

But I am planning a plan.

فَمَهِّلِ الْكَٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا۝١٧

So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile.
