[86:1] I swear by the heaven and the comer by night;

[86:2] And what will make you know what the comer by night is?

[86:3] The star of piercing brightness;

[86:4] There is not a soul but over it is a keeper.

[86:5] So let man consider of what he is created:

[86:6] He is created of water pouring forth,

[86:7] Coming from between the back and the ribs.

[86:8] Most surely He is able to return him (to life).

[86:9] On the day when hidden things shall be made manifest,

[86:10] He shall have neither strength nor helper.

[86:11] I swear by the raingiving heavens,

[86:12] And the earth splitting (with plants);

[86:13] Most surely it is a decisive word,

[86:14] And it is no joke.

[86:15] Surely they will make a scheme,

[86:16] And I (too) will make a scheme.

[86:17] So grant the unbelievers a respite: let them alone for a while.
