[1] By the Sky and the Night-Visitant (therein);-
[2] And what will explain to thee what the Night-Visitant is?-
[3] (It is) the Star of piercing brightness;-
[4] There is no soul but has a protector over it.
[5] Now let man but think from what he is created!
[6] He is created from a drop emitted-
[7] Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs:
[8] Surely (Allah) is able to bring him back (to life)!
[9] The Day that (all) things secret will be tested,
[10] (Man) will have no power, and no helper.
[11] By the Firmament which returns (in its round),
[12] And by the Earth which opens out (for the gushing of springs or the sprouting of vegetation),-
[13] Behold this is the Word that distinguishes (Good from Evil):
[14] It is not a thing for amusement.
[15] As for them, they are but plotting a scheme,
[16] And I am planning a scheme.
[17] Therefore grant a delay to the Unbelievers: Give respite to them gently (for awhile).
