At-Tariq

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ

By the heaven and the Morning Star

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ

Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is

ٱلنَّجْمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ

The piercing Star

إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ

No human soul but hath a guardian over it

فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ

So let man consider from what he is created

خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٍ دَافِقٍ

He is created from a gushing fluid

يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ ٱلصُّلْبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ

That issued from between the loins and ribs

إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٌ

Lo! He verily is Able to return him (unto life)

يَوْمَ تُبْلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ

On the day when hidden thoughts shall be searched out

فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ

Then will he have no might nor any helper

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجْعِ

By the heaven which giveth the returning rain

وَٱلْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدْعِ

And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and plants)

إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ

Lo! this (Qur'an) is a conclusive word

وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلْهَزْلِ

It is no pleasantry

إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا

Lo! they plot a plot (against thee, O Muhammad)

وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا

And I plot a plot (against them)

فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا

So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal thou gently with them for a while
