86:1  I call to witness the heaven and the visitant (in the darkness) of the night

86:2  And what should make you know what the night-visitant is

86:3  (It is) the star of piercing brightness

86:4  Remember! a guardian is appointed (by God) over every soul

86:5  Therefore let (every) human being consider from what material he is created

86:6  He is created from a jetting fluid

86:7  Which issues forth from between the loins and the breast-bones

86:8  Verily, He (Who created him the first time) has the power of bringing him back to life (in the Hereafter)

86:9  On the Day, when the hidden things shall be exposed

86:10  Then the person (who has engrossed himself in worldly affairs) shall have neither power to defend himself nor he will have any (other) helper

86:11  I call to witness the clouds that rain over and over again

86:12  And the earth that bursts forth (with herbage and with springs)

86:13  (That) verily, this (Qur'an) is a decisive word

86:14  And it is not a vain (revelation)

86:15  And they (- the disbelievers) devise a device (against it)

86:16  And (in return) I (too) devise a (counter) device

86:17  Therefore grant the disbelievers respite, yes grant them respite for a little while
