At-Taariq

Wassamaaa'i wattaariq

By the sky and the night comer -

Wa maaa adraaka mattaariq

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

Annajmus saaqib

It is the piercing star -

In kullu nafsil lammaa 'alaihaa haafiz

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

Fal yanzuril insaanu mimma khuliq

So let man observe from what he was created.

Khuliqa mim maaa'in daafiq

He was created from a fluid, ejected,

Yakhruju mim bainissulbi wat taraaa'ib

Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.

Innahoo 'alaa raj'ihee laqaadir

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

Yawma tublas saraaa'ir

The Day when secrets will be put on trial,

Famaa lahoo min quwwatinw wa laa naasir

Then man will have no power or any helper.

Wassamaaa'i zaatir raj'

By the sky which returns [rain]

Wal ardi zaatis sad'

And [by] the earth which cracks open,

Innahoo laqawlun fasl

Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement,

Wa maa huwa bil hazl

And it is not amusement.

Innahum yakeedoona kaidaa

Indeed, they are planning a plan,

Wa akeedu kaidaa

But I am planning a plan.

Famahhilil kaafireena amhilhum ruwaidaa

So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile.
