86:1
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ
By the sky and the night-comer––
The Nightcommer
Reciter
86:2
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ
What will explain to you what the night-comer is?
86:3
ٱلنَّجْمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ
The piercing star––
86:4
إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ
there is a watcher over every soul.
86:5
فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ
Man should reflect on what he was created from.
86:6
خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٍ دَافِقٍ
He is created from spurting fluid,
86:7
يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ ٱلصُّلْبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ
then he emerges from between the backbone and breastbone:
86:8
إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٌ
God is certainly able to bring him back to life.
86:9
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ
On the Day when secrets are laid bare
86:10
فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ
he will have no power and no one to help him.
86:11
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجْعِ
By the sky and its recurring rain,
86:12
وَٱلْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدْعِ
by the earth that cracks open!
86:13
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ
This is truly a decisive statement;
86:14
وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلْهَزْلِ
it is not something to be taken lightly.
86:15
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا
They plot and scheme,
86:16
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا
but so do I:
86:17
فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا
[Prophet], let the disbelievers be, let them be for a while.
