In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the night enshrouding
I swear by the night when it draws a veil,
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. By the night as it envelops.
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
Chapter 92, 21 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the night enshrouding
I swear by the night when it draws a veil,
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. By the night as it envelops.
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
And the day resplendent
And the day when it shines in brightness,
By the day as it appears in brightness.
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
And Him Who hath created male and female,
And the creating of the male and the female,
By Him Who created male and female.

Certainly, your efforts and deeds are diverse (different in aims and purposes);
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
As for him who giveth and is dutiful (toward Allah)
Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil),
As for him who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to Allah and fears Him,

And as for him who is niggardly and considers himself free from need (of Allah),
But he who is greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient.
وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
