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