86 - The Night-Comer |
| |
|
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. |
| |
| |
| 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. |
