I swear by the heaven and the comer by night
And what will make you know what the comer by night is
The star of piercing brightness
There is not a soul but over it is a keeper
So let man consider of what he is created
He is created of water pouring forth
Coming from between the back and the ribs
Most surely He is able to return him (to life)
On the day when hidden things shall be made manifest
He shall have neither strength nor helper
I swear by the raingiving heavens
And the earth splitting (with plants)
Most surely it is a decisive word
And it is no joke
Surely they will make a scheme
And I (too) will make a scheme
So grant the unbelievers a respite: let them alone for a while
