The Morning Star, The Nightcomer — Munir Mezyed Translation – Parallel Quran

1 The Comer by Night

وَالسَّمَاءِ وَالطَّارِقِ

By the firmament and the night visitor!

Waalssama-i waalttariqi

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الطَّارِقُ

What would make you aware of what the night visitor might be?

Wama adraka ma alttariqu

النَّجْمُ الثَّاقِبُ

It is the piercing star.

Alnnajmu alththaqibu

إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ

Over every one, there is a guardian.

In kullu nafsin lamma AAalayha hafithun

فَلْيَنظُرِ الْإِنسَانُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ

Thus, let man look at what he is created.

Falyanthuri al-insanu mimma khuliqa

خُلِقَ مِن مَّاءٍ دَافِقٍ

He is created from gushing water.

Khuliqa min ma-in dafiqin

يَخْرُجُ مِن بَيْنِ الصُّلْبِ وَالتَّرَائِبِ

It runs out of the loins and the ribs.

Yakhruju min bayni alssulbi waalttara-ibi

إِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِ لَقَادِرٌ

Absolutely (Allâh) is capable of bringing him back to life

Innahu AAala rajAAihi laqadirun

يَوْمَ تُبْلَى السَّرَائِرُ

On the day when all the secrets of the heart will be tested.

Yawma tubla alssara-iru

فَمَا لَهُ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ

Then man will have no power or helper.

Fama lahu min quwwatin wala nasirin

وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الرَّجْعِ

By the firmament that sends back the rain,

Waalssama-i thati alrrajAAi

وَالْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ الصَّدْعِ

And by the earth that bursts open,

Waal-ardi thati alssadAAi

إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ

Indeed, this (Glorious ‘Qurʾān’) is the decisive word.

Innahu laqawlun faslun

وَمَا هُوَ بِالْهَزْلِ

And it is not a jest.

Wama huwa bialhazli

إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا

They (‘Polytheists’) are but plotting an elaborate plot

Innahum yakeedoona kaydan

وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا

And I am devising a plan.

Waakeedu kaydan

فَمَهِّلِ الْكَافِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًا

Therefore, give respite to the ‘Polytheists’ and leave them alone for a while!

Famahhili alkafireena amhilhum ruwaydan
