بِسمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحمـٰنِ الرَّحيمِ وَالسَّماءِ وَالطّارِقِ
By the sky and the night comer -
وَما أَدراكَ مَا الطّارِقُ
And what can make you know what is the night comer?
إِن كُلُّ نَفسٍ لَمّا عَلَيها حافِظٌ
There is no soul but that it has over it a protector.
فَليَنظُرِ الإِنسانُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ
So let man observe from what he was created.
خُلِقَ مِن ماءٍ دافِقٍ
He was created from a fluid, ejected,
يَخرُجُ مِن بَينِ الصُّلبِ وَالتَّرائِبِ
Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.
إِنَّهُ عَلىٰ رَجعِهِ لَقادِرٌ
Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able.
