I call to witness the heaven and the visitant (in the darkness) of the night
And what should make you know what the night-visitant is
(It is) the star of piercing brightness
Remember! a guardian is appointed (by God) over every soul
Therefore let (every) human being consider from what material he is created
He is created from a jetting fluid
Which issues forth from between the loins and the breast-bones
Verily, He (Who created him the first time) has the power of bringing him back to life (in the Hereafter)
On the Day, when the hidden things shall be exposed
Then the person (who has engrossed himself in worldly affairs) shall have neither power to defend himself nor he will have any (other) helper
I call to witness the clouds that rain over and over again
And the earth that bursts forth (with herbage and with springs)
(That) verily, this (Qur'an) is a decisive word
And it is not a vain (revelation)
And they (- the disbelievers) devise a device (against it)
And (in return) I (too) devise a (counter) device
Therefore grant the disbelievers respite, yes grant them respite for a little while
