By the heaven and the Morning Star
:2

:3
- The piercing Star!
:4
No human soul but hath a guardian over it.

So let man consider from what he is created.
:6
He is created from a gushing fluid
:7
That issued from between the loins and ribs.
:8
Lo! He verily is Able to return him (unto life)
:9
On the day when hidden thoughts shall be searched out.
:10
Then will he have no might nor any helper.
:11
By the heaven which giveth the returning rain,
:12
And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and plants)
:13
Lo! this (Qur'an) is a conclusive word,
:14
It is no pleasantry.
:15
Lo! they plot a plot (against thee, O Muhammad)
:16
And I plot a plot (against them).
:17
So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal thou gently with them for a while.
