3 And by the even and the odd (of all the creations of Allah).

4 Waallayli itha yasri

4 And by the night when it departs.

5 Hal fee thalika qasamun lithee hijrin

5 There is indeed in them (the above oaths) sufficient proofs for men of understanding (and that, they should avoid all kinds of sins and disbeliefs)!

8 The like of which were not created in the land?

9 Wathamooda allatheena jaboo alssakhra bialwadi

9 And (with) Thamud (people), who hewed out rocks in the valley (to make dwellings)?

10 WafirAAawna thee alawtadi

10 And (with) Fir'aun (Pharaoh) who had the stakes (to torture men by binding them to the stakes)?

11 Allatheena taghaw fee albiladi

11 Who did transgress beyond bounds in the lands (in the disobedience of Allah).

12 Faaktharoo feeha alfasada

14 Verily, your Lord is Ever Watchful (over them).

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

15 As for man, when his Lord tries him by giving him honour and bounties, then he says (in exultation): "My Lord has honoured me."

16 Waamma itha ma ibtalahu faqadara AAalayhi rizqahu fayaqoolu rabbee ahanani

16 But when He tries him by straitening his means of life, he says: "My Lord has humiliated me!"

17 Kalla bal la tukrimoona alyateema

17 Nay! But you treat not the orphans with kindness and generosity (i.e. you neither treat them well, nor give them their exact right of inheritance)!

18 Wala tahaddoona AAala taAAami almiskeeni

18 And urge not one another on the feeding of Al-Miskin (the poor)!

19 Watakuloona altturatha aklan lamman

22 And your Lord comes with the angels in rows.

23 Wajeea yawmaithin bijahannama yawmaithin yatathakkaru alinsanu waanna lahu alththikra

23 And Hell will be brought near that Day. On that Day will man remember, but how will that remembrance (then) avail him?

24 Yaqoolu ya laytanee qaddamtu lihayatee

24 He will say: "Alas! Would that I had sent forth (good deeds) for (this) my life!"

25 Fayawmaithin la yuAAaththibu AAathabahu ahadun

25 So on that Day none will punish as He will punish.

26 Wala yoothiqu wathaqahu ahadun

26 And none will bind (the wicked, disbelievers and polytheists) as He will bind.

27 Ya ayyatuha alnnafsu almutmainnatu

27 (It will be said to the pious believers of Islamic Monotheism): "O (you) the one in (complete) rest and satisfaction!

28 IrjiAAee ila rabbiki radiyatan mardiyyatan

28 "Come back to your Lord well-pleased (yourself) and well-pleasing (unto Him)!
