Surah 86: The Bright Star (Al-Tariq)

وَالسَّماءِ وَالطّارِقِ

By the sky and Al-Taareq.

وَما أَدرىٰكَ مَا الطّارِقُ

Do you know what Al-Taareq is?

النَّجمُ الثّاقِبُ

The bright star.

إِن كُلُّ نَفسٍ لَمّا عَلَيها حافِظٌ

Absolutely, everyone is well guarded.

فَليَنظُرِ الإِنسٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ

Let the human reflect on his creation.

خُلِقَ مِن ماءٍ دافِقٍ

He was created from ejected liquid.

يَخرُجُ مِن بَينِ الصُّلبِ وَالتَّرائِبِ

From between the spine and the viscera.

إِنَّهُ عَلىٰ رَجعِهِ لَقادِرٌ

He is certainly able to resurrect him.

يَومَ تُبلَى السَّرائِرُ

The day all secrets become known.

فَما لَهُ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلا ناصِرٍ

He will have no power, nor a helper.

وَالسَّماءِ ذاتِ الرَّجعِ

By the sky that returns (the water).

وَالأَرضِ ذاتِ الصَّدعِ

By the earth that cracks (to grow plants).

إِنَّهُ لَقَولٌ فَصلٌ

This is a serious narration.

وَما هُوَ بِالهَزلِ

Not to be taken lightly.

إِنَّهُم يَكيدونَ كَيدًا

They plot and scheme.

وَأَكيدُ كَيدًا

But so do I.

فَمَهِّلِ الكٰفِرينَ أَمهِلهُم رُوَيدًا

Just respite the disbelievers a short respite.
