2. Wama adraka ma aLttariqU
2. And what will explain to thee
What the Night-Visitant is?--
3. ALnnajmu aLththaqibU

Of piercing brightness;--

A protector over it.

From what he is created!

A drop emitted--
7. Yakhruju min bayni aLssulbi waALttara-ibI
7. Proceeding from between
The backbone and the ribs:

To bring him back
(To life)!

(All) things secret
Will be tested,

No power,
And no helper.

Which returns (in its round),
12. WaAl-ardi thati aLssadAai

Which opens out
(For the gushing of springs
Or the sprouting of vegetation),--
13. Innahu laqawlun faslUn
13. Behold this is the Word
That distinguishes (Good
From Evil):
14. Wama huwa biAlhazlI
14. It is not a thing
For amusement.
15. Innahum yakeedoona kaydaN
15. As for them, they
Are but plotting a scheme,
16. Waakeedu kaydaN
16. And I am planning
A scheme.
17. Famahhili alkafireena amhilhum ruwaydaN
17. Therefore grant a delay
To the unbelievers:
Give respite to them
Gently (for awhile).
