At-Tariq

By the sky and the night comer! And what will give you an idea of what the night comer is? The star of piercing brightness. There is no Self but has a preserver over it.

وٱلسمآء وٱلطارق ومآ أدرىك ما ٱلطارق ٱلنجم ٱلثاقب إن كل نفس لما عليها حافظ

So let the human being look at what he was created from.

فلينظر ٱلإنسن مم خلق

He was created from a gushing water, emerging from between the loins and the bosom.

خلق من مآء دافق يخرج من بين ٱلصلب وٱلترآئب

Surely, He is capable of his return, the Day when secrets will be tested; then he will have no power nor any help.

إنه على رجعه لقادر يوم تبلى ٱلسرآئر فما له من قوة ولا ناصر

By the sky which returns! And by the earth which cracks open! Surely, it is a saying that separates, and it is no frivolity.

وٱلسمآء ذات ٱلرجع وٱلأرض ذات ٱلصدع إنه لقول فصل وما هو بٱلهزل

Indeed, they scheme a scheme, and I scheme a scheme.

إنهم يكيدون كيدا وأكيد كيدا

So grant a respite to those who disown, grant them a short respite.

فمهل ٱلكفرين أمهلهم رويدا
