بِسمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحمـٰنِ الرَّحيمِ وَالسَّماءِ وَالطّارِقِ

By the sky and the pulsar.

وَما أَدراكَ مَا الطّارِقُ

And what will explain to you what the pulsar is?

إِن كُلُّ نَفسٍ لَمّا عَلَيها حافِظٌ

There is no soul without a Protector over it.

فَليَنظُرِ الإِنسانُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ

Let man consider what he was created from.

خُلِقَ مِن ماءٍ دافِقٍ

He was created from a gushing fluid.

يَخرُجُ مِن بَينِ الصُّلبِ وَالتَّرائِبِ

Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.

إِنَّهُ عَلىٰ رَجعِهِ لَقادِرٌ

He is surely able to return him.
