The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By oath of the heaven, and by oath of the nightly arriver. 1 And what will make you to know what At-Tariq (night-comer) is? 2 (It is a nightly radiant star). 3 [for] no human being has ever been left unguarded. 4 Let the human being reflect that from what he has been created. 5 He is created from a drop emitted- 6 Proceeding from between the back-bone and the ribs, 7 Surely He (the Creator) has the power to bring him back (to life). 8 On the day when hidden things shall be made manifest, 9 He will have no strength or helper. 10 By the heaven which returneth, 11 by earth splitting with verdure, 12 Most surely it is a decisive word, 13 It is no pleasantry. 14 They are planning a scheme, 15 and I am cunningly devising. 16 so bear with those who deny the truth, and let them be for a little while. 17
