1 The Comer by Night

وَالسَّمَاءِ وَالطَّارِقِ

The sky and the Tariq are witness to what is being said

Waalssama-i waalttariqi

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الطَّارِقُ

And what will enlighten you as to what the Tariq is

Wama adraka ma alttariqu

النَّجْمُ الثَّاقِبُ

The Brightest Star! The noble night-visitant with the Radiant Lamp of the Qur'an in his hand knocking at the doors of minds and hearts, giving Light

Alnnajmu alththaqibu

إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ

There is no person without a watch being kept over him. (The Law of Requital is ever-vigilant)

In kullu nafsin lamma AAalayha hafithun

فَلْيَنظُرِ الْإِنسَانُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ

Let the human being, then, consider out of what he has been created. (And realize the common origin of all mankind. Has there not passed over man an era when he was not even worth mentioning? 76:1

خُلِقَ مِن مَّاءٍ دَافِقٍ

He has been created from a turbulent water. (21:30), (24:25)

Khuliqa min ma-in dafiqin

يَخْرُجُ مِن بَيْنِ الصُّلْبِ وَالتَّرَائِبِ

That issued from between tough rocks and mingled dust

Yakhruju min bayni alssulbi waalttara-ibi

إِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِ لَقَادِرٌ

Now, verily, He (Who has thus created man), is well Able to bring him back

Innahu AAala rajAAihi laqadirun

يَوْمَ تُبْلَى السَّرَائِرُ

On the Day when all secrets will be disclosed

Yawma tubla alssara-iru

فَمَا لَهُ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ

Then he will have no power, nor a helper

Fama lahu min quwwatin wala nasirin

وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الرَّجْعِ

وَالْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ الصَّدْعِ

وَمَا هُوَ بِالْهَزْلِ

It is not an amusing idle talk

Wama huwa bialhazli

إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا

(Yet) Behold, they plot and scheme (to refute the Truth (34:33))

Innahum yakeedoona kaydan

وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا

But My Law works its own Way

Waakeedu kaydan

فَمَهِّلِ الْكَافِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًا

Therefore give the rejecters some time. Leave them alone for a while

Famahhili alkafireena amhilhum ruwaydan
