At-Tariq
الطارق
The Nightcommer
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ ١
Was-samā'i waṭ-ṭāriq(i).
By the sky and the night comer
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ ٢
Wa mā adrāka maṭ-ṭāriq(u).
And what can make you know what is the night comer?
ٱلنَّجْمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ ٣
An-najmuṡ-ṡāqib(u).
It is the piercing star
إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ ٤
In kullu nafsil lammā ‘alaihā ḥāfiẓ(un).
There is no soul but that it has over it a protector.
فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ ٥
Falyanẓuril-insānu mimma khuliq(a).
So let man observe from what he was created.
خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٍ دَافِقٍ ٦
Khuliqa mim mā'in dāfiq(in).
He was created from a fluid, ejected,
يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ ٱلصُّلْبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ ٧
Yakhruju mim bainiṣ-ṣulbi wat-tarā'ib(i).
Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.
إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٌ ٨
Innahū ‘alā raj‘ihī laqādir(un).
Indeed, He [i.e., Allāh], to return him [to life], is Able.
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ ٩
Yauma tublas-sarā'ir(u).
The Day when secrets will be put on trial,
فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ ١٠
Famā lahū min quwwatiw wa lā nāṣir(in).
Then he [i.e., man] will have no power or any helper.
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجْعِ ١١
Was-samā'i żātir-raj‘(i).
By the sky which sends back
وَٱلْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدْعِ ١٢
Wal-arḍi żātiṣ-ṣad‘(i).
And [by] the earth which splits,
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ ١٣
Innahū laqaulun faṣl(un).
Indeed, it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is a decisive statement,
وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلْهَزْلِ ١٤
Wa mā huwa bil-hazl(i).
And it is not amusement.
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا ١٥
Innahum yakīdūna kaidā(n).
Indeed, they are planning a plan,
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا ١٦
Wa akīdu kaidā(n).
But I am planning a plan.
فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا ١٧
Fa mahhilil-kāfirīna amhilhum ruwaidā(n).
So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile.
