1 By the night when it covers

2 Waalnnahari itha tajalla

2 And [by] the day when it appears

3 Wama khalaqa alththakara waalontha

3 And [by] He who created the male and female,

4 Inna saAAyakum lashatta

4 Indeed, your efforts are diverse.

5 Faamma man aAAta waittaqa

5 As for he who gives and fears Allah

6 Wasaddaqa bialhusna

6 And believes in the best [reward],

7 Fasanuyassiruhu lilyusra

7 We will ease him toward ease.

8 Waamma man bakhila waistaghna

8 But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need

9 Wakaththaba bialhusna

9 And denies the best [reward],

10 Fasanuyassiruhu lilAAusra

10 We will ease him toward difficulty.

11 Wama yughnee AAanhu maluhu itha taradda

11 And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?

12 Inna AAalayna lalhuda

13 Wainna lana lalakhirata waaloola

13 And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].

14 Faanthartukum naran talaththa

14 So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.

15 La yaslaha illa alashqa

15 None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one.

16 Allathee kaththaba watawalla

16 Who had denied and turned away.

17 Wasayujannabuha alatqa

17 But the righteous one will avoid it -

18 Allathee yutee malahu yatazakka

18 [He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself

19 Wama liahadin AAindahu min niAAmatin tujza

19 And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded

20 Illa ibtighaa wajhi rabbihi alaAAla

20 But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High.

21 Walasawfa yarda

21 And he is going to be satisfied.
