86 - Surah At-Tariq الطارق

By the sky and the night comer -

wal-samāi wal-ṭāriqi

And what can make you know what is the night comer?

wamā adrāka mā l-ṭāriqu

It is the piercing star -

al-najmu l-thāqibu

There is no soul but that it has over it a protector.

in kullu nafsin lammā ʿalayhā ḥāfiẓun

So let man observe from what he was created.

falyanẓuri l-insānu mimma khuliqa

He was created from a fluid, ejected,

khuliqa min māin dāfiqin

Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.

yakhruju min bayni l-ṣul'bi wal-tarāibi

Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able.

innahu ʿalā rajʿihi laqādirun

The Day when secrets will be put on trial,

yawma tub'lā l-sarāiru

Then man will have no power or any helper.

famā lahu min quwwatin walā nāṣirin

By the sky which returns [rain]

wal-samāi dhāti l-rajʿi

And [by] the earth which cracks open,

wal-arḍi dhāti l-ṣadʿi

Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement,

innahu laqawlun faṣlun

And it is not amusement.

wamā huwa bil-hazli

Indeed, they are planning a plan,

innahum yakīdūna kaydan

But I am planning a plan.

wa-akīdu kaydan

So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile.

famahhili l-kāfirīna amhil'hum ruwaydan
