Chapter 92, 21 verses
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والليل إذا يغشى
I swear by the night when it draws a veil,
Waallayli itha yaghsha
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
والنهار إذا تجلى
And the day when it shines in brightness,
Waalnnahari itha tajalla
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
وما خلق الذكر والأنثى
And the creating of the male and the female,
Wama khalaqa alththakara waalontha
وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ
إن سعيكم لشتى
Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (ends).
Inna saAAyakum lashatta
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
فأما من أعطى واتقى
Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil),
Faamma man aAAta waittaqa
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ
وصدق بالحسنى
And accepts the best,
Wasaddaqa bialhusna
وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
فسنيسره لليسرى
We will facilitate for him the easy end.
Fasanuyassiruhu lilyusra
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
وأما من بخل واستغنى
And as for him who is niggardly and considers himself free from need (of Allah),
Waamma man bakhila waistaghna
وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
وكذب بالحسنى
And rejects the best,
Wakaththaba bialhusna
وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
فسنيسره للعسرى
We will facilitate for him the difficult end.
Fasanuyassiruhu lilAAusra
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ
وما يغني عنه ماله إذا تردى
And his wealth will not avail him when he perishes.
Wama yughnee AAanhu maluhu itha taradda
وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ
إن علينا للهدى
Surely Ours is it to show the way,
Inna AAalayna lalhuda
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ
وإن لنا للآخرة والأولى
And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former.
Wainna lana lalakhirata waaloola
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْءَاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ
فأنذرتكم نارا تلظى
Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames:
Faanthartukum naran talaththa
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ
لا يصلاها إلا الأشقى
None shall enter it but the most unhappy,
La yaslaha illa alashqa
لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى
الذي كذب وتولى
Who gives the lie (to the truth) and turns (his) back.
Allathee kaththaba watawalla
ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
وسيجنبها الأتقى
And away from it shall be kept the one who guards most (against evil),
Wasayujannabuha alatqa
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى
الذي يؤتي ماله يتزكى
Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself
Allathee yutee malahu yatazakka
ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ
وما لأحد عنده من نعمة تجزى
And no one has with him any boon for which he should be rewarded,
Wama liahadin AAindahu min niAAmatin tujza
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰٓ
إلا ابتغاء وجه ربه الأعلى
Except the seeking of the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High.
Illa ibtighaa wajhi rabbihi alaAAla
إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
ولسوف يرضى
And he shall soon be well - pleased.
Walasawfa yarda
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
