BY the heaven, and by the NIGHT-COMER
But who shall teach thee what the night-comer is
'Tis the star of piercing radiance
Over every soul is set a guardian
Let man then reflect out of what he was created
He was created of the poured-forth germs
Which issue from the loins and breastbones
Well able then is God to restore him to life,
On the day when all secrets shall be searched out
And he shall have no other might or helper
I swear by the heaven which accomplisheth its cycle
And by the earth which openeth her bosom
That this Koran is a discriminating discourse
And that it is not frivolous
They plot a plot against thee
And I will plot a plot against them
Deal calmly therefore with the infidels; leave them awhile alone
