The Night-Comer 86

- Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is!

No human soul but hath a guardian over it.

So let man consider from what he is created.

That issued from between the loins and ribs.

Lo! He verily is Able to return him (unto life)

On the day when hidden thoughts shall be searched out.

Then will he have no might nor any helper.

By the heaven which giveth the returning rain,

And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and plants)

Lo! they plot a plot (against thee, O Muhammad)

So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal thou gently with them for a while.
