اللـيـل

1 By the night when it covers

1 Waallayli itha yaghsha

2 And [by] the day when it appears

2 Waalnnahari itha tajalla

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

3 Wama khalaqa alththakara waalontha

4 Indeed, your efforts are diverse.

4 Inna saAAyakum lashatta

5 As for he who gives and fears Allah

5 Faamma man aAAta waittaqa

6 And believes in the best [reward],

6 Wasaddaqa bialhusna

7 We will ease him toward ease.

7 Fasanuyassiruhu lilyusra

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

8 Waamma man bakhila waistaghna

9 And denies the best [reward],

9 Wakaththaba bialhusna

10 We will ease him toward difficulty.

10 Fasanuyassiruhu lilAAusra

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

11 Wama yughnee AAanhu maluhu itha taradda

12 Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.

12 Inna AAalayna lalhuda

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

13 Wainna lana lalakhirata waaloola

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

14 Faanthartukum naran talaththa

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

15 La yaslaha illa alashqa

16 Who had denied and turned away.

16 Allathee kaththaba watawalla

17 But the righteous one will avoid it -

17 Wasayujannabuha alatqa

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

18 Allathee yutee malahu yatazakka

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

19 Wama liahadin AAindahu min niAAmatin tujza

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

20 Illa ibtighaa wajhi rabbihi alaAAla

21 And he is going to be satisfied.
