والليل إذا يسر
And [by] the night when it passes,
Waallayli itha yasri
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ
هل في ذلك قسم لذي حجر
Is there [not] in [all] that an oath [sufficient] for one of perception?
Hal fee thalika qasamun lithee hijrin
هَلْ فِى ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِّذِى حِجْرٍ
ألم تر كيف فعل ربك بعاد
Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with 'Aad -
Alam tara kayfa faAAala rabbuka biAAadin
أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ
إرم ذات العماد
[With] Iram - who had lofty pillars,
Irama thati alAAimadi
إِرَمَ ذَاتِ ٱلْعِمَادِ
التي لم يخلق مثلها في البلاد
The likes of whom had never been created in the land?
Allatee lam yukhlaq mithluha fee albiladi
ٱلَّتِى لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِى ٱلْبِلَٰدِ
وثمود الذين جابوا الصخر بالواد
And [with] Thamud, who carved out the rocks in the valley?
Wathamooda allatheena jaboo alssakhra bialwadi
وَثَمُودَ ٱلَّذِينَ جَابُوا۟ ٱلصَّخْرَ بِٱلْوَادِ
وفرعون ذي الأوتاد
And [with] Pharaoh, owner of the stakes? -
WafirAAawna thee alawtadi
وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِى ٱلْأَوْتَادِ
الذين طغوا في البلاد
[All of] whom oppressed within the lands
Allatheena taghaw fee albiladi
ٱلَّذِينَ طَغَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْبِلَٰدِ
فأكثروا فيها الفساد
And increased therein the corruption.
Faaktharoo feeha alfasada
فَأَكْثَرُوا۟ فِيهَا ٱلْفَسَادَ
فصب عليهم ربك سوط عذاب
So your Lord poured upon them a scourge of punishment.
Fasabba AAalayhim rabbuka sawta AAathabin
فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ
إن ربك لبالمرصاد
Indeed, your Lord is in observation.
Inna rabbaka labialmirsadi
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِٱلْمِرْصَادِ
فأما الإنسان إذا ما ابتلاه ربه فأكرمه ونعمه فيقول ربي أكرمن
And as for man, when his Lord tries him and [thus] is generous to him and favors him, he says, "My Lord has honored me."
Faamma alinsanu itha ma ibtalahu rabbuhu faakramahu wanaAAAAamahu fayaqoolu rabbee akramani
فَأَمَّا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَأَكْرَمَهُۥ وَنَعَّمَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَكْرَمَنِ
وأما إذا ما ابتلاه فقدر عليه رزقه فيقول ربي أهانن
But when He tries him and restricts his provision, he says, "My Lord has humiliated me."
Waamma itha ma ibtalahu faqadara AAalayhi rizqahu fayaqoolu rabbee ahanani
وَأَمَّآ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَهَٰنَنِ
كلا ۖ بل لا تكرمون اليتيم
No! But you do not honor the orphan
Kalla bal la tukrimoona alyateema
كَلَّا بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ ٱلْيَتِيمَ
ولا تحاضون على طعام المسكين
And you do not encourage one another to feed the poor.
Wala tahaddoona AAala taAAami almiskeeni
وَلَا تَحَٰٓضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ
وتأكلون التراث أكلا لما
And you consume inheritance, devouring [it] altogether,
Watakuloona altturatha aklan lamman
وَتَأْكُلُونَ ٱلتُّرَاثَ أَكْلًا لَّمًّا
وتحبون المال حبا جما
And you love wealth with immense love.
Watuhibboona almala hubban jamman
وَتُحِبُّونَ ٱلْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا
كلا إذا دكت الأرض دكا دكا
No! When the earth has been leveled - pounded and crushed -
Kalla itha dukkati alardu dakkan dakkan
كَلَّآ إِذَا دُكَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا
وجاء ربك والملك صفا صفا
And your Lord has come and the angels, rank upon rank,
Wajaa rabbuka waalmalaku saffan saffan
وَجَآءَ رَبُّكَ وَٱلْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا
وجيء يومئذ بجهنم ۚ يومئذ يتذكر الإنسان وأنى له الذكرى
And brought [within view], that Day, is Hell - that Day, man will remember, but what good to him will be the remembrance?
Wajeea yawmaithin bijahannama yawmaithin yatathakkaru alinsanu waanna lahu alththikra
وَجِا۟ىٓءَ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِجَهَنَّمَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ
يقول يا ليتني قدمت لحياتي
He will say, "Oh, I wish I had sent ahead [some good] for my life."
Yaqoolu ya laytanee qaddamtu lihayatee
يَقُولُ يَٰلَيْتَنِى قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِى
فيومئذ لا يعذب عذابه أحد
So on that Day, none will punish [as severely] as His punishment,
Fayawmaithin la yuAAaththibu AAathabahu ahadun
فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ
ولا يوثق وثاقه أحد
And none will bind [as severely] as His binding [of the evildoers].
Wala yoothiqu wathaqahu ahadun
وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ
يا أيتها النفس المطمئنة
[To the righteous it will be said], "O reassured soul,
Ya ayyatuha alnnafsu almutmainnatu
يَٰٓأَيَّتُهَا ٱلنَّفْسُ ٱلْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ
ارجعي إلى ربك راضية مرضية
Return to your Lord, well - pleased and pleasing [to Him],
IrjiAAee ila rabbiki radiyatan mardiyyatan
ٱرْجِعِىٓ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرْضِيَّةً
فادخلي في عبادي
And enter among My [righteous] servants
Faodkhulee fee AAibadee
فَٱدْخُلِى فِى عِبَٰدِى
وادخلي جنتي
And enter My Paradise."
Waodkhulee jannatee
وَٱدْخُلِى جَنَّتِى
