Chapter 92, 21 verses
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والليل إذا يغشى
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the night enshrouding
Waallayli itha yaghsha
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
والنهار إذا تجلى
And the day resplendent
Waalnnahari itha tajalla
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
وما خلق الذكر والأنثى
And Him Who hath created male and female,
Wama khalaqa alththakara waalontha
وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ
إن سعيكم لشتى
Lo! your effort is dispersed (toward divers ends).
Inna saAAyakum lashatta
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
فأما من أعطى واتقى
As for him who giveth and is dutiful (toward Allah)
Faamma man aAAta waittaqa
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ
وصدق بالحسنى
And believeth in goodness;
Wasaddaqa bialhusna
وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
فسنيسره لليسرى
Surely We will ease his way unto the state of ease.
Fasanuyassiruhu lilyusra
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
وأما من بخل واستغنى
But as for him who hoardeth and deemeth himself independent,
Waamma man bakhila waistaghna
وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
وكذب بالحسنى
And disbelieveth in goodness;
Wakaththaba bialhusna
وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
فسنيسره للعسرى
Surely We will ease his way unto adversity.
Fasanuyassiruhu lilAAusra
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ
وما يغني عنه ماله إذا تردى
His riches will not save him when he perisheth.
Wama yughnee AAanhu maluhu itha taradda
وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ
إن علينا للهدى
Lo! Ours it is (to give) the guidance
Inna AAalayna lalhuda
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ
وإن لنا للآخرة والأولى
And lo! unto Us belong the latter portion and the former.
Wainna lana lalakhirata waaloola
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْءَاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ
فأنذرتكم نارا تلظى
Therefor have I warned you of the flaming Fire
Faanthartukum naran talaththa
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ
لا يصلاها إلا الأشقى
Which only the most wretched must endure,
La yaslaha illa alashqa
لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى
الذي كذب وتولى
He who denieth and turneth away.
Allathee kaththaba watawalla
ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
وسيجنبها الأتقى
Far removed from it will be the righteous
Wasayujannabuha alatqa
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى
الذي يؤتي ماله يتزكى
Who giveth his wealth that he may grow (in goodness).
Allathee yutee malahu yatazakka
ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ
وما لأحد عنده من نعمة تجزى
And none hath with him any favour for reward,
Wama liahadin AAindahu min niAAmatin tujza
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰٓ
إلا ابتغاء وجه ربه الأعلى
Except as seeking (to fulfil) the purpose of his Lord Most High.
Illa ibtighaa wajhi rabbihi alaAAla
إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
ولسوف يرضى
He verily will be content.
Walasawfa yarda
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
