The Morning Star, The Nightcomer — Maududi Translation – Parallel Quran

1 The Comer by Night

وَالسَّمَاءِ وَالطَّارِقِ

By the heaven, and the night-visitor

Waalssama-i waalttariqi

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الطَّارِقُ

what do you know what the night-visitor is

Wama adraka ma alttariqu

النَّجْمُ الثَّاقِبُ

It is the piercing star

Alnnajmu alththaqibu

إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ

There is no living being but there is a protector over it

In kullu nafsin lamma AAalayha hafithun

فَلْيَنظُرِ الْإِنسَانُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ

So let man consider of what he was created

Falyanthuri al-insanu mimma khuliqa

خُلِقَ مِن مَّاءٍ دَافِقٍ

He was created of a gushing fluid

Khuliqa min ma-in dafiqin

يَخْرُجُ مِن بَيْنِ الصُّلْبِ وَالتَّرَائِبِ

emanating from between the loins and the ribs

Yakhruju min bayni alssulbi waalttara-ibi

إِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِ لَقَادِرٌ

Surely He (the Creator) has the power to bring him back (to life)

Innahu AAala rajAAihi laqadirun

يَوْمَ تُبْلَى السَّرَائِرُ

On the Day when man´s deepest secrets shall be put to the tes

Yawma tubla alssara-iru

فَمَا لَهُ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ

he shall have no power, and no helper

Fama lahu min quwwatin wala nasirin

وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الرَّجْعِ

By the heaven with its recurring cycle of rain

Waalssama-i thati alrrajAAi

وَالْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ الصَّدْعِ

and by the earth ever bursting with verdure

Waal-ardi thati alssadAAi

إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ

this (Qur´an) is surely a decisive Word

Innahu laqawlun faslun

وَمَا هُوَ بِالْهَزْلِ

not a flippant jest

Wama huwa bialhazli

إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا

They are devising a guile

Innahum yakeedoona kaydan

وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا

and I too am devising a guile

Waakeedu kaydan

فَمَهِّلِ الْكَافِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًا

So leave the unbelievers to themselves; respite them awhile

Famahhili alkafireena amhilhum ruwaydan
