84. Inshikak · verses 16–20

فَلَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ

Fala oqsimu bialshshafaqi

So I do call to witness the ruddy glow of Sunset;

وَٱلَّيۡلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ

Waallayli wama wasaqa

The Night and its Homing;

وَٱلۡقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ

Waalqamari itha ittasaqa

And the Moon in her fullness:

لَتَرۡكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٖ

Latarkabunna tabaqan AAan tabaqin

Ye shall surely travel from stage to stage.

فَمَا لَهُمۡ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ

Fama lahum la yuminoona

What then is the matter with them, that they believe not?-
