الطارق

بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

1. وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ

   ✦1

   By the sky and the night comer

2. وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ

   ✦2

   And what can make you know what is the night comer

3. ٱلنَّجۡمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ

   ✦3

   It is the piercing star

4. إِن كُلُّ نَفۡسٖ لَّمَّا عَلَيۡهَا حَافِظٞ

   ✦4

   There is no soul but that it has over it a protector

5. فَلۡيَنظُرِ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ

   ✦5

   So let man observe from what he was created

6. خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٖ دَافِقٖ

   ✦6

   He was created from a fluid, ejected

7. يَخۡرُجُ مِنۢ بَيۡنِ ٱلصُّلۡبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ

   ✦7

   Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs

8. إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجۡعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٞ

   ✦8

   Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able

9. يَوۡمَ تُبۡلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ

   ✦9

   The Day when secrets will be put on trial

10. فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٖ وَلَا نَاصِرٖ

    ✦10

    Then man will have no power or any helper

11. وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجۡعِ

    ✦11

    By the sky which returns [rain]

12. وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدۡعِ

    ✦12

    And [by] the earth which cracks open

13. إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوۡلٞ فَصۡلٞ

    ✦13

    Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement

14. وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلۡهَزۡلِ

    ✦14

    And it is not amusement

15. إِنَّهُمۡ يَكِيدُونَ كَيۡدٗا

    ✦15

    Indeed, they are planning a plan

16. وَأَكِيدُ كَيۡدٗا

    ✦16

    But I am planning a plan

17. فَمَهِّلِ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ أَمۡهِلۡهُمۡ رُوَيۡدَۢا

    ✦17

    So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile
