الفجر

1 Waalfajri

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the Dawn

2 Walayalin AAashrin

2 And ten nights,

3 WaalshshafAAi waalwatri

3 And the Even and the Odd,

4 Waallayli itha yasri

4 And the night when it departeth,

5 Hal fee thalika qasamun lithee hijrin

5 There surely is an oath for thinking man.

6 Alam tara kayfa faAAala rabbuka biAAadin

6 Dost thou not consider how thy Lord dealt with (the tribe of) A'ad,

7 Irama thati alAAimadi

7 With many - columned Iram,

8 Allatee lam yukhlaq mithluha fee albiladi

8 The like of which was not created in the lands;

9 Wathamooda allatheena jaboo alssakhra bialwadi

9 And with (the tribe of) Thamud, who clove the rocks in the valley;

10 WafirAAawna thee alawtadi

10 And with Pharaoh, firm of might,

11 Allatheena taghaw fee albiladi

11 Who (all) were rebellious (to Allah) in these lands,

12 Faaktharoo feeha alfasada

12 And multiplied iniquity therein ?

13 Fasabba AAalayhim rabbuka sawta AAathabin

13 Therefore thy Lord poured on them the disaster of His punishment.

14 Inna rabbaka labialmirsadi

14 Lo! thy Lord is ever watchful.

15 Faamma alinsanu itha ma ibtalahu rabbuhu faakramahu wanaAAAAamahu fayaqoolu rabbee akramani

15 As for man, whenever his Lord trieth him by honouring him, and is gracious unto him, he saith: My Lord honoureth me.

16 Waamma itha ma ibtalahu faqadara AAalayhi rizqahu fayaqoolu rabbee ahanani

16 But whenever He trieth him by straitening his means of life, he saith: My Lord despiseth me.

17 Kalla bal la tukrimoona alyateema

17 Nay, but ye (for your part) honour not the orphan

18 Wala tahaddoona AAala taAAami almiskeeni

18 And urge not on the feeding of the poor.

19 Watakuloona altturatha aklan lamman

19 And ye devour heritages with devouring greed.

20 Watuhibboona almala hubban jamman

20 And love wealth with abounding love.

21 Kalla itha dukkati alardu dakkan dakkan

21 Nay, but when the earth is ground to atoms, grinding, grinding,

22 Wajaa rabbuka waalmalaku saffan saffan

22 And thy Lord shall come with angels, rank on rank,

23 Wajeea yawmaithin bijahannama yawmaithin yatathakkaru alinsanu waanna lahu alththikra

23 And hell is brought near that day; on that day man will remember, but how will the remembrance (then avail him) ?

24 Yaqoolu ya laytanee qaddamtu lihayatee

24 He will say: Ah, would that I had sent before me (some provision) for my life!

25 Fayawmaithin la yuAAaththibu AAathabahu ahadun

25 None punisheth as He will punish on that day!

26 Wala yoothiqu wathaqahu ahadun

26 None bindeth as He then will bind.

27 Ya ayyatuha alnnafsu almutmainnatu

27 But ah! thou soul at peace!

28 IrjiAAee ila rabbiki radiyatan mardiyyatan

28 Return unto thy Lord, content in His good pleasure!

29 Faodkhulee fee AAibadee

29 Enter thou among My bondmen!

30 Waodkhulee jannatee

30 Enter thou My Garden!
