الفجر

1 Waalfajri

1 By the break of Day

2 Walayalin AAashrin

2 By the Nights twice five;

3 WaalshshafAAi waalwatri

3 By the even and odd (contrasted);

4 Waallayli itha yasri

4 And by the Night when it passeth away; -

5 Hal fee thalika qasamun lithee hijrin

5 Is there (not) in these an adjuration (or evidence) for those who understand?

6 Alam tara kayfa faAAala rabbuka biAAadin

6 Seest thou not how thy Lord dealt with the 'Ad (people), -

7 Irama thati alAAimadi

7 Of the (city of) Iram, with lofty pillars,

8 Allatee lam yukhlaq mithluha fee albiladi

8 The like of which were not produced in (all) the land?

9 Wathamooda allatheena jaboo alssakhra bialwadi

9 And with the Thamud (people), who cut out (huge) rocks in the valley? -

10 WafirAAawna thee alawtadi

10 And with Pharaoh, lord of stakes?

11 Allatheena taghaw fee albiladi

11 (All) these transgressed beyond bounds in the lands,

12 Faaktharoo feeha alfasada

12 And heaped therein mischief (on mischief).

13 Fasabba AAalayhim rabbuka sawta AAathabin

13 Therefore did thy Lord pour on them a scourge of diverse chastisements:

14 Inna rabbaka labialmirsadi

14 For thy Lord is (as a Guardian) on a watch - tower.

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

15 Now, as for man, when his Lord trieth him, giving him honour and gifts, then saith he, (puffed up), "My Lord hath honoured me."

16 Waamma itha ma ibtalahu faqadara AAalayhi rizqahu fayaqoolu rabbee ahanani

16 But when He trieth him, restricting his subsistence for him, then saith he (in despair), "My Lord hath humiliated me!"

17 Kalla bal la tukrimoona alyateema

17 Nay, nay! but ye honour not the orphans!

18 Wala tahaddoona AAala taAAami almiskeeni

18 Nor do ye encourage one another to feed the poor! -

19 Watakuloona altturatha aklan lamman

19 And ye devour inheritance - all with greed,

20 Watuhibboona almala hubban jamman

20 And ye love wealth with inordinate love!

21 Kalla itha dukkati alardu dakkan dakkan

21 Nay! When the earth is pounded to powder,

22 Wajaa rabbuka waalmalaku saffan saffan

22 And thy Lord cometh, and His angels, rank upon rank,

23 Wajeea yawmaithin bijahannama yawmaithin yatathakkaru alinsanu waanna lahu alththikra

23 And Hell, that Day, is brought (face to face), - on that Day will man remember, but how will that remembrance profit him?

24 Yaqoolu ya laytanee qaddamtu lihayatee

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

25 Fayawmaithin la yuAAaththibu AAathabahu ahadun

25 For, that Day, His Chastisement will be such as none (else) can inflict,

26 Wala yoothiqu wathaqahu ahadun

26 And His bonds will be such as none (other) can bind.

27 Ya ayyatuha alnnafsu almutmainnatu

27 (To the righteous soul will be said:) "O (thou) soul, in (complete) rest and satisfaction!

28 IrjiAAee ila rabbiki radiyatan mardiyyatan

28 "Come back thou to thy Lord, - well pleased (thyself), and well - pleasing unto Him!

29 Faodkhulee fee AAibadee

29 "Enter thou, then, among My devotees!

30 Waodkhulee jannatee

30 "Yea, enter thou My Heaven!
