وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجۡعِ
By the Firmament which returns (in its round),
وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدۡعِ
And by the Earth which opens out (for the gushing of springs or the sprouting of vegetation),-
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوۡلٞ فَصۡلٞ
Behold this is the Word that distinguishes (Good from Evil):
وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلۡهَزۡلِ
It is not a thing for amusement.
إِنَّهُمۡ يَكِيدُونَ كَيۡدٗا
As for them, they are but plotting a scheme,
وَأَكِيدُ كَيۡدٗا
And I am planning a scheme.
فَمَهِّلِ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ أَمۡهِلۡهُمۡ رُوَيۡدَۢا
Therefore grant a delay to the Unbelievers: Give respite to them gently (for awhile).
