By the sky and that which comes by night
And what will apprise thee of that which comes by night
It is the piercing star
Over every soul there is a guardian
So let man consider that from which he was created
He was created from a gushing fluid
issuing from between the loins and the pelvic arch
Truly He is able to bring him back
on the Day when secrets are tested
whereat man has neither strength nor helper
By the resurgent sky
and by the furrowed earth
truly it is indeed a decisive Word
And it is not for amusement
Truly they are devising a scheme
and I, too, am devising a scheme
So be gentle with the disbelievers; grant them respite for a while
