Surah “The Morning Star, The Nightcomer”

as rendered by Mohammad Shafi — 17 verses

By the sky and the Taariq
— And what do you understand what the Taariq is
It is the shining star —
Not a soul but has a protector over it.
Let man then see how he is created
He is created by means of fluid [blood] spurtin
Out from between the spine and the ribs
It [blood] is certainly indeed capable of its return
The Day secrets are disclosed
For him [man] there will then be no power, and no helper
By the sky, ever returning [revolving]
And by the earth with its surface cracking open again and again with new growth of plants and vegetation
It [Qur'aan] is indeed a decisive Word
And it is not for just sport and amusement
They [suppressors of Truth] are indeed hatching a plot
And I [Allah] am devising a plot
So let those who suppress the Truth go their way; let them go for a little while
