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