By the heaven and the Morning Star |
 |
- Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is! |
 |
- The piercing Star! |
 |
No human soul but hath a guardian over it. |
 |
So let man consider from what he is created. |
 |
He is created from a gushing fluid |
 |
That issued from between the loins and ribs. |
 |
Lo! He verily is Able to return him (unto life) |
 |
On the day when hidden thoughts shall be searched out. |
 |
Then will he have no might nor any helper. |
 |
By the heaven which giveth the returning rain, |
 |
And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and plants) |
 |
Lo! this (Qur'an) is a conclusive word, |
 |
It is no pleasantry. |
 |
Lo! they plot a plot (against thee, O Muhammad) |
 |
And I plot a plot (against them). |
 |
So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal thou gently with them for a while. |
