86. Tarik · verses 1–5

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ

Waalssamai waalttariqi

By the Sky and the Night-Visitant (therein);-

وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ

Wama adraka ma alttariqu

And what will explain to thee what the Night-Visitant is?-

ٱلنَّجۡمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ

Alnnajmu alththaqibu

(It is) the Star of piercing brightness;-

إِن كُلُّ نَفۡسٖ لَّمَّا عَلَيۡهَا حَافِظٞ

In kullu nafsin lamma AAalayha hafithun

There is no soul but has a protector over it.

فَلۡيَنظُرِ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ

Falyanthuri alinsanu mimma khuliqa

Now let man but think from what he is created!
