When evil touches him, impatient,
وإذا مسه الخير منوعا
Waitha massahu alkhayru manooAAan
And when good touches him, withholding [of it],

Except the observers of prayer -
الذين هم على صلاتهم دائمون
Allatheena hum AAala salatihim daimoona
Those who are constant in their prayer
والذين في أموالهم حق معلوم

Waallatheena yusaddiqoona biyawmi alddeeni
And those who believe in the Day of Recompense
والذين هم من عذاب ربهم مشفقون
Waallatheena hum min AAathabi rabbihim mushfiqoona
And those who are fearful of the punishment of their Lord -
إن عذاب ربهم غير مأمون
Inna AAathaba rabbihim ghayru mamoonin

And those who are to their trusts and promises attentive
والذين هم بشهاداتهم قائمون
Waallatheena hum bishahadatihim qaimoona
And those who are in their testimonies upright
والذين هم على صلاتهم يحافظون
Waallatheena hum AAala salatihim yuhafithoona

أولئك في جنات مكرمون
Olaika fee jannatin mukramoona

So what is [the matter] with those who disbelieve, hastening [from] before you, [O Muhammad],
عن اليمين وعن الشمال عزين
AAani alyameeni waAAani alshshimali AAizeena
[To sit] on [your] right and [your] left in separate groups?

Fala oqsimu birabbi almashariqi waalmagharibi inna laqadiroona
So I swear by the Lord of [all] risings and settings that indeed We are able
على أن نبدل خيرا منهم وما نحن بمسبوقين
AAala an nubaddila khayran minhum wama nahnu bimasbooqeena
To replace them with better than them; and We are not to be outdone.
فذرهم يخوضوا ويلعبوا حتى يلاقوا يومهم الذي يوعدون
Fatharhum yakhoodoo wayalAAaboo hatta yulaqoo yawmahumu allathee yooAAadoona
So leave them to converse vainly and amuse themselves until they meet their Day which they are promised -
يوم يخرجون من الأجداث سراعا كأنهم إلى نصب يوفضون
Yawma yakhrujoona mina alajdathi siraAAan kaannahum ila nusubin yoofidoona
The Day they will emerge from the graves rapidly as if they were, toward an erected idol, hastening.
خاشعة أبصارهم ترهقهم ذلة ۚ ذلك اليوم الذي كانوا يوعدون
KhashiAAatan absaruhum tarhaquhum thillatun thalika alyawmu allathee kanoo yooAAadoona
Their eyes humbled, humiliation will cover them. That is the Day which they had been promised.
