Sorah At-Tariq ( The Night-Comer ) - Verses Number 17
وَالسَّمَاءِ وَالطَّارِقِ ( 1 ) 
By the sky and the night comer -
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الطَّارِقُ ( 2 )
And what can make you know what is the night comer?
النَّجْمُ الثَّاقِبُ ( 3 )
It is the piercing star -
إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ ( 4 )
There is no soul but that it has over it a protector.
فَلْيَنظُرِ الْإِنسَانُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ ( 5 )
So let man observe from what he was created.
خُلِقَ مِن مَّاءٍ دَافِقٍ ( 6 )
He was created from a fluid, ejected,
يَخْرُجُ مِن بَيْنِ الصُّلْبِ وَالتَّرَائِبِ ( 7 )
Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.
إِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِ لَقَادِرٌ ( 8 )
Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able.
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى السَّرَائِرُ ( 9 )
The Day when secrets will be put on trial,
فَمَا لَهُ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ ( 10 )
Then man will have no power or any helper.
وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الرَّجْعِ ( 11 )
By the sky which returns [rain]
وَالْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ الصَّدْعِ ( 12 )
And [by] the earth which cracks open,
إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ ( 13 )
Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement,
وَمَا هُوَ بِالْهَزْلِ ( 14 )
And it is not amusement.
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا ( 15 )
Indeed, they are planning a plan,
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا ( 16 )
But I am planning a plan.
فَمَهِّلِ الْكَافِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًا ( 17 )
So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile.
