(1) Wassamaaa'i wattaariq
By the Sky and the Night-Visitant (therein);
(2) Wa maaa adraaka mattaariq
And what will explain to thee what the Night-Visitant is?-

(4) In kullu nafsil lammaa 'alaihaa haafiz
There is no soul but has a protector over it.
(5) Fal yanzuril insaanu mimma khuliq

(6) Khuliqa mim maaa'in daafiq

(7) Yakhruju mim bainissulbi wat taraaa'ib
Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs:
(8) Innahoo 'alaa raj'ihee laqaadir
Surely ((Allah)) is able to bring him back (to life)!
(9) Yawma tublas saraaa'ir
The Day that (all) things secret will be tested,
(10) Famaa lahoo min quwwatinw wa laa naasir

Behold this is the Word that distinguishes (Good from Evil):
(14) Wa maa huwa bil hazl
It is not a thing for amusement.
