بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ ۝١ وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ ۝٢ ٱلنَّجۡمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ ۝٣ إِن كُلُّ نَفۡسٖ لَّمَّا عَلَيۡهَا حَافِظٞ ۝٤ فَلۡيَنظُرِ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ ۝٥ خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٖ دَافِقٖ ۝٦ يَخۡرُجُ مِنۢ بَيۡنِ ٱلصُّلۡبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ ۝٧ إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجۡعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٞ ۝٨ يَوۡمَ تُبۡلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ ۝٩ فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٖ وَلَا نَاصِرٖ ۝١٠ وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجۡعِ ۝١١ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدۡعِ ۝١٢ إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوۡلٞ فَصۡلٞ ۝١٣ وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلۡهَزۡلِ ۝١٤ إِنَّهُمۡ يَكِيدُونَ كَيۡدٗا ۝١٥ وَأَكِيدُ كَيۡدٗا ۝١٦ فَمَهِّلِ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ أَمۡهِلۡهُمۡ رُوَيۡدَۢا ۝١٧

English translation

1By the sky and at-Tariq.

2But what will let you know what at-Tariq is?

3The Piercing Star.

4There is no soul without a protector over it.

5Let man consider what he was created from.

6He was created from gushing liquid.

7Issuing from between the backbone and the breastbones.

8He is certainly Able to return him.

9On the Day when the secrets are disclosed.

10He will have no strength, and no supporter.

11By the sky that returns.

12And the earth that cracks open.

13It is a Decisive Word.

14It is no joke.

15They plot and scheme.

16But I plot and scheme.

17Therefore, give the blasphemers respite, a brief respite.
