الفجر

1 By the break of Day

1 Waalfajri

2 By the Nights twice five;

2 Walayalin AAashrin

3 By the even and odd (contrasted);

3 WaalshshafAAi waalwatri

4 And by the Night when it passeth away; -

4 Waallayli itha yasri

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

5 Hal fee thalika qasamun lithee hijrin

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

6 Alam tara kayfa faAAala rabbuka biAAadin

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

7 Irama thati alAAimadi

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

8 Allatee lam yukhlaq mithluha fee albiladi

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

9 Wathamooda allatheena jaboo alssakhra bialwadi

10 And with Pharaoh, lord of stakes?

10 WafirAAawna thee alawtadi

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

11 Allatheena taghaw fee albiladi

12 And heaped therein mischief (on mischief).

12 Faaktharoo feeha alfasada

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

13 Fasabba AAalayhim rabbuka sawta AAathabin

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

14 Inna rabbaka labialmirsadi

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."

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

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

16 Waamma itha ma ibtalahu faqadara AAalayhi rizqahu fayaqoolu rabbee ahanani

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

17 Kalla bal la tukrimoona alyateema

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

18 Wala tahaddoona AAala taAAami almiskeeni

19 And ye devour inheritance - all with greed,

19 Watakuloona altturatha aklan lamman

20 And ye love wealth with inordinate love!

20 Watuhibboona almala hubban jamman

21 Nay! When the earth is pounded to powder,

21 Kalla itha dukkati alardu dakkan dakkan

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

22 Wajaa rabbuka waalmalaku saffan saffan

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

23 Wajeea yawmaithin bijahannama yawmaithin yatathakkaru alinsanu waanna lahu alththikra

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

24 Yaqoolu ya laytanee qaddamtu lihayatee

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

25 Fayawmaithin la yuAAaththibu AAathabahu ahadun

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

26 Wala yoothiqu wathaqahu ahadun

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

27 Ya ayyatuha alnnafsu almutmainnatu

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

28 IrjiAAee ila rabbiki radiyatan mardiyyatan

29 "Enter thou, then, among My devotees!

29 Faodkhulee fee AAibadee

30 "Yea, enter thou My Heaven!

30 Waodkhulee jannatee
