Oh, I swear by the afterglow of sunset,
والليل وما وسق

And by the night and all that it enshroudeth,
والقمر إذا اتسق
Waalqamari itha ittasaqa

فما لهم لا يؤمنون
Fama lahum la yuminoona

Waitha quria AAalayhimu alquranu la yasjudoona

And Allah knoweth best what they are hiding.
فبشرهم بعذاب أليم
Fabashshirhum biAAathabin aleemin

So give them tidings of a painful doom,
إلا الذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات لهم أجر غير ممنون
Illa allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati lahum ajrun ghayru mamnoonin
Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds. For them is a reward uninterrupted.
Save those who believe and do good works, for theirs is a reward unfailing.
