By the sky, and by the nightly comer
What could let you know what the nightly comer is
(It is) the piercing star
For every soul there is a watcher
Let the human reflect of what he is created
He was created from ejaculated water
that issues from between the loins and the ribs
Surely, He is Able to bring him back
on the Day when consciences are examined
when he will be helpless, with no supporter
By the sky with its returning rain
and by the earth bursting with vegetation
this is indeed a Decisive Word
it is not a jest
They are cunningly devising
and I am cunningly devising
Therefore respite the unbelievers, and delay them for a while
