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