The Nightcommer

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ

By the sky and the night comer

وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ

And what can make you know what is the night comer

ٱلنَّجۡمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ

It is the piercing star

إِن كُلُّ نَفۡسٖ لَّمَّا عَلَيۡهَا حَافِظٞ

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

فَلۡيَنظُرِ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ

So let man observe from what he was created

خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٖ دَافِقٖ

He was created from a fluid, ejected

يَخۡرُجُ مِنۢ بَيۡنِ ٱلصُّلۡبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ

Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs

إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجۡعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٞ

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

يَوۡمَ تُبۡلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ

The Day when secrets will be put on trial

فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٖ وَلَا نَاصِرٖ

Then man will have no power or any helper

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجۡعِ

By the sky which returns [rain]

وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدۡعِ

And [by] the earth which cracks open

إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوۡلٞ فَصۡلٞ

Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement

وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلۡهَزۡلِ

And it is not amusement

إِنَّهُمۡ يَكِيدُونَ كَيۡدٗا

Indeed, they are planning a plan

وَأَكِيدُ كَيۡدٗا

But I am planning a plan

فَمَهِّلِ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ أَمۡهِلۡهُمۡ رُوَيۡدَۢا

So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile
