1By the heaven and the Morning Star

2Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is

3The piercing Star

4No human soul but hath a guardian over it

5So let man consider from what he is created

6He is created from a gushing fluid

7That issued from between the loins and ribs

8Lo! He verily is Able to return him (unto life)

9On the day when hidden thoughts shall be searched out

10Then will he have no might nor any helper

11By the heaven which giveth the returning rain

12And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and plants)

13Lo! this (Qur'an) is a conclusive word

14It is no pleasantry

15Lo! they plot a plot (against thee, O Muhammad)

16And I plot a plot (against them)

17So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal thou gently with them for a while
