يَوۡمَ تُبۡلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ
(86:9) On the Day when man's deepest secrets shall be put to the test5
فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٖ وَلَا نَاصِرٖ
(86:10) he shall have no power, and no helper.
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجۡعِ
(86:11) By the heaven with its recurring cycle of rain,6
وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدۡعِ
(86:12) and by the earth ever bursting with verdure,
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوۡلٞ فَصۡلٞ
(86:13) this (Qur'an) is surely a decisive Word,
وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلۡهَزۡلِ
(86:14) not a flippant jest.7
إِنَّهُمۡ يَكِيدُونَ كَيۡدٗا
(86:15) They are devising a guile,8
وَأَكِيدُ كَيۡدٗا
(86:16) and I too am devising a guile.9
فَمَهِّلِ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ أَمۡهِلۡهُمۡ رُوَيۡدَۢا
(86:17) So leave the unbelievers to themselves; respite them awhile.0
