A. J. Arberry - LXXXVI The Night-Star lyrics

In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compa**ionate 86:1 By heaven and the night-star! And what shall teach thee what is the night-star? The piercing star! Over every soul there is a watcher. 86:5 So let man consider of what he was created; he was created of gushing water issuing between the loins and the breast-bones. Surely He is able to bring him back upon the day when the secrets are tried, 86:10 and he shall have no strength, no helper. By heaven of the returning rain, by earth splitting with verdure, surely it is a decisive word; it is no merriment. 86:15 They are devising guile, and I am devising guile. So respite the unbelievers; delay with them awhile.
