[1] By the heaven and the Morning Star
[2] - Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is!
[3] - The piercing Star!
[4] No human soul but hath a guardian over it.
[5] So let man consider from what he is created.
[6] He is created from a gushing fluid
[7] That issued from between the loins and ribs.
[8] Lo! He verily is Able to return him (unto life)
[9] On the day when hidden thoughts shall be searched out.
[10] Then will he have no might nor any helper.
[11] By the heaven which giveth the returning rain,
[12] And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and plants)
[13] Lo! this (Qur'an) is a conclusive word,
[14] It is no pleasantry.
[15] Lo! they plot a plot (against thee, O Muhammad)
[16] And I plot a plot (against them).
[17] So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal thou gently with them for a while.
