The Morning Star, The Nightcomer — Mohammad Shafi Translation – Parallel Quran

1 The Comer by Night

وَالسَّمَاءِ وَالطَّارِقِ

By the sky and the Taariq

Waalssama-i waalttariqi

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الطَّارِقُ

— And what do you understand what the Taariq is

Wama adraka ma alttariqu

النَّجْمُ الثَّاقِبُ

It is the shining star —

Alnnajmu alththaqibu

إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ

Not a soul but has a protector over it.

In kullu nafsin lamma AAalayha hafithun

فَلْيَنظُرِ الْإِنسَانُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ

Let man then see how he is created

Falyanthuri al-insanu mimma khuliqa

خُلِقَ مِن مَّاءٍ دَافِقٍ

He is created by means of fluid [blood] spurtin

Khuliqa min ma-in dafiqin

يَخْرُجُ مِن بَيْنِ الصُّلْبِ وَالتَّرَائِبِ

Out from between the spine and the ribs

Yakhruju min bayni alssulbi waalttara-ibi

إِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِ لَقَادِرٌ

It [blood] is certainly indeed capable of its return

Innahu AAala rajAAihi laqadirun

يَوْمَ تُبْلَى السَّرَائِرُ

The Day secrets are disclosed

Yawma tubla alssara-iru

فَمَا لَهُ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ

For him [man] there will then be no power, and no helper

Fama lahu min quwwatin wala nasirin

وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الرَّجْعِ

By the sky, ever returning [revolving]

Waalssama-i thati alrrajAAi

وَالْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ الصَّدْعِ

And by the earth with its surface cracking open again and again with new growth of plants and vegetation

Waal-ardi thati alssadAAi

إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ

It [Qur'aan] is indeed a decisive Word

Innahu laqawlun faslun

وَمَا هُوَ بِالْهَزْلِ

And it is not for just sport and amusement

Wama huwa bialhazli

إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا

They [suppressors of Truth] are indeed hatching a plot

Innahum yakeedoona kaydan

وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا

And I [Allah] am devising a plot

Waakeedu kaydan

فَمَهِّلِ الْكَافِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًا

So let those who suppress the Truth go their way; let them go for a little while

Famahhili alkafireena amhilhum ruwaydan
