The Morning Star, The Nightcomer — Safi Kaskas Translation – Parallel Quran

1 The Comer by Night

وَالسَّمَاءِ وَالطَّارِقِ

By the sky and the knocking star,

Waalssama-i waalttariqi

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الطَّارِقُ

what do you know about the knocking star?

Wama adraka ma alttariqu

النَّجْمُ الثَّاقِبُ

It is the piercing Star,

Alnnajmu alththaqibu

إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ

there is no soul without a protector over it.

In kullu nafsin lamma AAalayha hafithun

فَلْيَنظُرِ الْإِنسَانُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ

So let the human being consider what he was created from.

Falyanthuri al-insanu mimma khuliqa

خُلِقَ مِن مَّاءٍ دَافِقٍ

He was created from ejected fluid,

Khuliqa min ma-in dafiqin

يَخْرُجُ مِن بَيْنِ الصُّلْبِ وَالتَّرَائِبِ

emerging from the vicinity of the backbone and the ribs.

Yakhruju min bayni alssulbi waalttara-ibi

إِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِ لَقَادِرٌ

Indeed, God is able to bring him [the human being] back to life.

Innahu AAala rajAAihi laqadirun

يَوْمَ تُبْلَى السَّرَائِرُ

On a Day when secrets are disclosed,

Yawma tubla alssara-iru

فَمَا لَهُ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ

a human being will have no power or anyone to help him.

Fama lahu min quwwatin wala nasirin

وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الرَّجْعِ

By the sky and its cyclical system

Waalssama-i thati alrrajAAi

وَالْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ الصَّدْعِ

and the earth which cracks open,

Waal-ardi thati alssadAAi

إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ

indeed, this is a decisive statement,

Innahu laqawlun faslun

وَمَا هُوَ بِالْهَزْلِ

not to be taken lightly.

Wama huwa bialhazli

إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا

They plot and scheme,

Innahum yakeedoona kaydan

وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا

but I am planning too.

Waakeedu kaydan

فَمَهِّلِ الْكَافِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًا

So bear with the unbelievers. Let them be for a while.

Famahhili alkafireena amhilhum ruwaydan
