Surah At-Tariq

وَاَلسَّمَآءِ وَاَلطَّارِقِ

(I swear) by the sky, and the night star

وَمَآ أَدۡر۪ىٰكَ مَا اَ۬لطَّارِقُ

And how would you know what the night star is

اُ۬لنَّجۡمُ اُ۬لثَّاقِبُ

(It is) a bright star

إِن كُلُّ نَفۡسࣲ لَّمَا عَلَيۡهَا حَافِظࣱ‏

There is no soul without a guardian over it

فَلۡيَنظُرِ اِ۬لۡإِنسَٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ

Let man look at (and bear in mind) the substance he is created from

خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءࣲ دَافِقࣲ‏

(He is) created from the surging fluid

يَخۡرُجُ مِنۢ بَيۡنِ اِ۬لصُّلۡبِ وَاَلتَّرَآئِبِ

Which springs from between the spine and the ribs

إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجۡعِهِۦ لَقَادِرࣱ‏

Indeed, He is (certainly) capable of bringing man back to life

يَوۡمَ تُبۡلَى اَ۬لسَّرَآئِرُ

That day, (all) secrets would be laid bare

فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةࣲ وَلَا نَاصِرࣲ‏

(That day), man shall not have any strength, nor any helpers

وَاَلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ اِ۬لرَّجۡعِ

(I swear) by the sky that repeatedly sends rain down

وَاَلۡأَرۡضِ ذَاتِ اِ۬لصَّدۡعِ

And by the earth that splits (and lets plants emerge)

إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوۡلࣱ فَصۡلࣱ‏

Indeed, this Qur´an is the statement that sifts (right from wrong)

وَمَا هُوَ بِالۡهَزۡلِ

It is not an idle tale

إِنَّهُمۡ يَكِيدُونَ كَيۡدࣰ ا

They are hatching a nefarious plot

وَأَكِيدُ كَيۡدࣰ ا

But I, too, shall devise a scheme

فَمَهِّلِ اِ۬لۡكٰ۪فِرِينَ أَمۡهِلۡهُمۡ رُوَيۡدَۢا

So give the unbelievers a little respite. Deal with them gently for a while
