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