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. |
