Târık Sûresi Abul Ala Maududi Meâli

By the heaven, and the night-visitor, ﴾ 1 ﴿
what do you know what the night-visitor is? ﴾ 2 ﴿
It is the piercing star. ﴾ 3 ﴿
There is no living being but there is a protector over it. ﴾ 4 ﴿
So let man consider of what he was created. ﴾ 5 ﴿
He was created of a gushing fluid, ﴾ 6 ﴿
emanating from between the loins and the ribs. ﴾ 7 ﴿
Surely He (the Creator) has the power to bring him back (to life). ﴾ 8 ﴿
On the Day when man's deepest secrets shall be put to the test ﴾ 9 ﴿
he shall have no power, and no helper. ﴾ 10 ﴿
By the heaven with its recurring cycle of rain, ﴾ 11 ﴿
and by the earth ever bursting with verdure, ﴾ 12 ﴿
this (Qur'an) is surely a decisive Word, ﴾ 13 ﴿
not a flippant jest. ﴾ 14 ﴿
They are devising a guile, ﴾ 15 ﴿
and I too am devising a guile. ﴾ 16 ﴿
So leave the unbelievers to themselves; respite them awhile. ﴾ 17 ﴿
