بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
وَالسَّمَاءِ وَالطَّارِقِ
Wassamaaa'i wattaariq
By the sky and the night comer -
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الطَّارِقُ
Wa maaa adraaka mattaariq
And what can make you know what is the night comer?
النَّجْمُ الثَّاقِبُ
Annajmus saaqib
It is the piercing star -
إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ
In kullu nafsil lammaa 'alaihaa haafiz
There is no soul but that it has over it a protector.
فَلْيَنظُرِ الْإِنسَانُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ
Fal yanzuril insaanu mimma khuliq
So let man observe from what he was created.
خُلِقَ مِن مَّاءٍ دَافِقٍ
Khuliqa mim maaa'in daafiq
He was created from a fluid, ejected,
يَخْرُجُ مِن بَيْنِ الصُّلْبِ وَالتَّرَائِبِ
Yakhruju mim bainissulbi wat taraaa'ib
Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.
إِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِ لَقَادِرٌ
Innahoo 'alaa raj'ihee laqaadir
Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able.
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى السَّرَائِرُ
Yawma tublas saraaa'ir
The Day when secrets will be put on trial,
فَمَا لَهُ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ
Famaa lahoo min quwwatinw wa laa naasir
Then man will have no power or any helper.
