In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the night enshrouding
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والليل إذا يغشى

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ

وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
And Him Who hath created male and female,
وما خلق الذكر والأنثى
And [by] He who created the male and female,
وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ
Lo! your effort is dispersed (toward divers ends).

وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ

وما يغني عنه ماله إذا تردى

وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ
Lo! Ours it is (to give) the guidance
إن علينا للهدى

إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ
And lo! unto Us belong the latter portion and the former.
وإن لنا للآخرة والأولى
And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْءَاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ
Therefor have I warned you of the flaming Fire
فأنذرتكم نارا تلظى
So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ

لا يصلاها إلا الأشقى
None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one.
لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى
He who denieth and turneth away.
الذي كذب وتولى

ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
Far removed from it will be the righteous
وسيجنبها الأتقى
But the righteous one will avoid it -
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى
Who giveth his wealth that he may grow (in goodness).
الذي يؤتي ماله يتزكى
[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself
ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ

وما لأحد عنده من نعمة تجزى

وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰٓ

إلا ابتغاء وجه ربه الأعلى

ولسوف يرضى
And he is going to be satisfied.
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
