The Morning Star, The Nightcomer — Ali Aoenal Translation – Parallel Quran

1 The Comer by Night

وَالسَّمَاءِ وَالطَّارِقِ

By the heaven and that which comes at night

Waalssama-i waalttariqi

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الطَّارِقُ

What enables you to perceive what it is that comes at night

Wama adraka ma alttariqu

النَّجْمُ الثَّاقِبُ

It is the bright piercing star

Alnnajmu alththaqibu

إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ

There is not a soul but over it is a guardian

In kullu nafsin lamma AAalayha hafithun

فَلْيَنظُرِ الْإِنسَانُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ

Let human, then, consider from what he has been created

Falyanthuri al-insanu mimma khuliqa

خُلِقَ مِن مَّاءٍ دَافِقٍ

He has been created from some of a lowly fluid gushing forth

Khuliqa min ma-in dafiqin

يَخْرُجُ مِن بَيْنِ الصُّلْبِ وَالتَّرَائِبِ

It proceeds (as a result of incitement) between the (lumbar zone in the) vertebra and the ribs

Yakhruju min bayni alssulbi waalttara-ibi

إِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِ لَقَادِرٌ

Surely He (Who has created human from a lowly fluid) is able to restore him (to life after his death

Innahu AAala rajAAihi laqadirun

يَوْمَ تُبْلَى السَّرَائِرُ

On the Day when all things (that remained or were kept) secret will be made manifest

Yawma tubla alssara-iru

فَمَا لَهُ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ

And he will have no power, nor a helper (against God’s punishment)

Fama lahu min quwwatin wala nasirin

وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الرَّجْعِ

I swear by the heaven ever-revolving (with whatever is in it and recurring patterns of rainfall)

Waalssama-i thati alrrajAAi

وَالْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ الصَّدْعِ

And by the earth, bursting (with the growth of plants)

Waal-ardi thati alssadAAi

إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ

Surely it (the Qur’an) is a decisive Word distinguishing (between truth and falsehood)

Innahu laqawlun faslun

وَمَا هُوَ بِالْهَزْلِ

It is not (a word) in jest

Wama huwa bialhazli

إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا

They (who reject it) are busy making schemes

Innahum yakeedoona kaydan

وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا

And I am "making a scheme."

Waakeedu kaydan

فَمَهِّلِ الْكَافِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًا

So let the unbelievers remain at will; let them continue to remain at will for a little while

Famahhili alkafireena amhilhum ruwaydan
