In the name of God, the Almighty, the Merciful.
By the sky and the night-comer!
And what will convey to thee what the night-comer is?
The piercing star!
There is no soul but has over it a custodian.
So let man look from what he was created:
He was created from a gushing water,
Issuing forth from between the loins and the breast-bones.
He is able to return him.
The day the secrets are tried,
Then will he have neither power nor helper.
By the sky full of returning!
And by the earth full of cracks!
It is a decisive word,
And it is not in jest.
They plan a plan —
And I plan a plan.
So grant thou respite to the false claimers of guidance; grant thou them respite awhile.
