At-Tariq


وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ

I swear by the sky and by the Night-Comer,-


وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ

-and what may let you know what the Night-Comer is?


ٱلنَّجۡمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ

The star of piercing brightness!- -


إِن كُلُّ نَفۡسٖ لَّمَّا عَلَيۡهَا حَافِظٞ

-there is no human being, but there is a watcher over him.


فَلۡيَنظُرِ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ

So, let man consider of which stuff he is created.


خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٖ دَافِقٖ

He is created of spouting water


يَخۡرُجُ مِنۢ بَيۡنِ ٱلصُّلۡبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ

that comes out from between the loins and the chest-bones.


إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجۡعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٞ

Surely He is Powerful to bring him back


يَوۡمَ تُبۡلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ

on a day when all the secrets will be searched out,


فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٖ وَلَا نَاصِرٖ

and he will have neither strength (to defend), nor a supporter.
