بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ ﴿1﴾

Wassamaaa'i wattaariq

1. By the sky and the night comer -

آسمان اور رات کے وقت آنے والے کی قسم

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ ﴿2﴾

Wa maaa adraaka mattaariq

2. And what can make you know what is the night comer?

اور تم کو کیا معلوم کہ رات کے وقت آنے والا کیا ہے

ٱلنَّجْمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ ﴿3﴾

Annajmus saaqib

3. It is the piercing star -

وہ تارا ہے چمکنے والا

إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍۢ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌۭ ﴿4﴾

In kullu nafsil lammaa 'alaihaa haafiz

4. There is no soul but that it has over it a protector.

کہ کوئی متنفس نہیں جس پر نگہبان مقرر نہیں

فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ ﴿5﴾

Fal yanzuril insaanu mimma khuliq

5. So let man observe from what he was created.

تو انسان کو دیکھنا چاہئے کہ وہ کاہے سے پیدا ہوا ہے

خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٍۢ دَافِقٍۢ ﴿6﴾

Khuliqa mim maaa'in daafiq

6. He was created from a fluid, ejected,

وہ اچھلتے ہوئے پانی سے پیدا ہوا ہے

يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ ٱلصُّلْبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ ﴿7﴾

Yakhruju mim bainissulbi wat taraaa'ib

7. Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.

جو پیٹھ اور سینے کے بیچ میں سے نکلتا ہے

إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٌۭ ﴿8﴾

Innahoo 'alaa raj'ihee laqaadir

8. Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able.

بےشک خدا اس کے اعادے (یعنی پھر پیدا کرنے) پر قادر ہے

يَوْمَ تُبْلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ ﴿9﴾

Yawma tublas saraaa'ir

9. The Day when secrets will be put on trial,

جس دن دلوں کے بھید جانچے جائیں گے

فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٍۢ وَلَا نَاصِرٍۢ ﴿10﴾

Famaa lahoo min quwwatinw wa laa naasir

10. Then man will have no power or any helper.

تو انسان کی کچھ پیش نہ چل سکے گی اور نہ کوئی اس کا مددگار ہو گا

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجْعِ ﴿11﴾

Wassamaaa'i zaatir raj'

11. By the sky which returns [rain]

آسمان کی قسم جو مینہ برساتا ہے

وَٱلْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدْعِ ﴿12﴾

Wal ardi zaatis sad'

12. And [by] the earth which cracks open,

اور زمین کی قسم جو پھٹ جاتی ہے

إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلٌۭ فَصْلٌۭ ﴿13﴾

Innahoo laqawlun fasl

13. Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement,

کہ یہ کلام (حق کو باطل سے) جدا کرنے والا ہے

وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلْهَزْلِ ﴿14﴾

Wa maa huwa bil hazl

14. And it is not amusement.

اور بیہودہ بات نہیں ہے

إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًۭا ﴿15﴾

Innahum yakeedoona kaidaa

15. Indeed, they are planning a plan,

یہ لوگ تو اپنی تدبیروں میں لگ رہے ہیں

وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًۭا ﴿16﴾

Wa akeedu kaidaa

16. But I am planning a plan.

اور ہم اپنی تدبیر کر رہے ہیں

فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا ﴿17﴾

Famahhilil kaafireena amhilhum ruwaidaa

17. So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile.

تو تم کافروں کو مہلت دو بس چند روز ہی مہلت دو
