[1] I swear by the heaven and the comer by night;
[2] And what will make you know what the comer by night is?
[3] The star of piercing brightness;
[4] There is not a soul but over it is a keeper.
[5] So let man consider of what he is created:
[6] He is created of water pouring forth,
[7] Coming from between the back and the ribs.
[8] Most surely He is able to return him (to life).
[9] On the day when hidden things shall be made manifest,
[10] He shall have neither strength nor helper.
[11] I swear by the raingiving heavens,
[12] And the earth splitting (with plants);
[13] Most surely it is a decisive word,
[14] And it is no joke.
[15] Surely they will make a scheme,
[16] And I (too) will make a scheme.
[17] So grant the unbelievers a respite: let them alone for a while.
