وَٱلسَّمَآءِ By the sky وَٱلطَّارِقِ and the night comer

وَمَآ And what أَدْرَىٰكَ can make you know مَا what ٱلطَّارِقُ the night comer (is)

ٱلنَّجْمُ (It is) the star ٱلثَّاقِبُ the piercing

إِن Not كُلُّ (is) every نَفْسٍ soul لَّمَّا but عَلَيْهَا over it حَافِظٌ (is) a protector

فَلْيَنظُرِ So let see ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ man مِمَّ from what خُلِقَ he is created

خُلِقَ He is created مِن from مَّآءٍ a water دَافِقٍ ejected

يَخْرُجُ Coming forth مِنۢ from بَيْنِ between ٱلصُّلْبِ the backbone وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ and the ribs

إِنَّهُۥ Indeed, He عَلَىٰ to رَجْعِهِۦ return him لَقَادِرٌ (is) Able

يَوْمَ (The) Day تُبْلَى will be tested ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ the secrets

فَمَا Then not لَهُۥ (is) for him مِن any قُوَّةٍ power وَلَا and not نَاصِرٍ any helper

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ By the sky ذَاتِ which ٱلرَّجْعِ returns

وَٱلْأَرْضِ And the earth ذَاتِ which ٱلصَّدْعِ cracks open

إِنَّهُۥ Indeed, it لَقَوْلٌ (is) surely a Word فَصْلٌ decisive

وَمَا And not هُوَ it بِٱلْهَزْلِ (is) for amusement

إِنَّهُمْ Indeed, they يَكِيدُونَ are plotting كَيْدًا a plot

وَأَكِيدُ But I am planning كَيْدًا a plan

فَمَهِّلِ So give respite ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ (to) the disbelievers أَمْهِلْهُمْ Give respite to them رُوَيْدًۢا little
