By the heavens and al-tariq
Do you know what al-tariq is
(It is a nightly radiant star)
There is no soul which is not guarded (by the two angels who record all of its deeds)
Let the human being reflect that from what he has been created
He has been created from an ejected drop of fluid
which comes out of the loins and ribs
God has all power to resurrect him
On the day when all secrets will be made public
he will have no power, nor anyone to help him
By the rotating heaven
and the replenishing earth
the Quran is the final word
and it is certainly not a jest
They (disbelievers) plot every evil plan
but I too plan against them
Give respite to the disbelievers and leave them alone for a while
