Surah At-Taariq

وَالسَّمَا࢜ءِ وَالطَّارِقِ ۝١ۙ

1By the heaven, and by the nightly visitor

وَمَا͏ٓ اَدْرٰىكَ مَا الطَّارِقُ ۝٢ۙ

2(and what will show you what is the nightly visitor?

النَّجْمُ الثَّاقِبُ ۝٣ۙ

3It is the brilliant star):

اِنْ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ ۝٤ؕ

4there is a guard over every soul.

فَلْيَنْظُرِ الْاِنْسَانُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ ۝٥ؕ

5So let man consider from what he was created.

خُلِقَ مِنْ مَّا࢜ءٍ دَافِقٍ ۝٦ۙ

6He was created from an effusing fluid

يَّخْرُجُ مِنْۢ بَيْنِ الصُّلْبِ وَالتَّرَا࢜ىِٕبِ ۝٧ؕ

7which issues from between the loins and the breast-bones.

اِنَّهٗ عَلٰي رَجْعِهٖ لَقَادِرٌ ۝٨ؕ

8Indeed He is able to bring him back [after death],

يَوْمَ تُبْلَي السَّرَا࢜ىِٕرُ ۝٩ۙ

9on the day when the secrets are examined

فَمَا لَهٗ مِنْ قُوَّةٍ وَّلَا نَاصِرٍ ۝١٠ؕ

10and he shall have neither power nor helper.

وَالسَّمَا࢜ءِ ذَاتِ الرَّجْعِ ۝١١ۙ

11By the resurgent heaven,

وَالْاَرْضِ ذَاتِ الصَّدْعِ ۝١٢ۙ

12and by the furrowed earth:

اِنَّهٗ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ ۝١٣ۙ

13it is indeed a conclusive discourse,

وَّمَا هُوَ بِالْهَزْلِ ۝١٤ؕ

14and not a jest.

اِنَّهُمْ يَكِيْدُوْنَ كَيْدًا ۝١٥ۙ

15Indeed they are devising a stratagem,

وَّاَكِيْدُ كَيْدًا ۝١٦ۚۖ

16and I [too] am devising a plan.

فَمَهِّلِ الْكٰفِرِيْنَ اَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًا ۝١٧ࣖ

17So respite the faithless; give them a gentle respite.
