3. Annajmus saaqib(It is) the Star of piercing brightness;-النَّجْمُ الثَّاقِبُ

4. In kullu nafsil lammaa 'alaihaa haafizThere is no soul but has a protector over it.إِنْ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ

5. Fal yanzuril insaanu mimma khuliqNow let man but think from what he is created!فَلْيَنْظُرِ الْإِنْسَانُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ

6. Khuliqa mim maaa'in daafiqHe is created from a drop emitted-خُلِقَ مِنْ مَاءٍ دَافِقٍ

12. Wal ardi zaatis sad'And by the Earth which opens out (for the gushing of springs or the sprouting of vegetation),-وَالْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ الصَّدْعِ

13. Innahoo laqawlun faslBehold this is the Word that distinguishes (Good from Evil):إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ

14. Wa maa huwa bil hazlIt is not a thing for amusement.وَمَا هُوَ بِالْهَزْلِ

15. Innahum yakeedoona kaidaaAs for them, they are but plotting a scheme,إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا

17. Famahhilil kaafireena amhilhum ruwaidaaTherefore grant a delay to the Unbelievers: Give respite to them gently (for awhile).فَمَهِّلِ الْكَافِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًا
