In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the night enshrouding

And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning.
Therefor have I warned you of the flaming Fire
Faanthartukum naran talaththa
ফাআর্ন্যাতুকুম্ না-রান্ তালাজ্জোয়া-।
Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely;
Which only the most wretched must endure,

None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones
He who denieth and turneth away.

ল্লাযী কায্যাবা অতাওয়াল্লা-।
Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs.
Far removed from it will be the righteous

Those who spend their wealth for increase in self - purification,
And none hath with him any favour for reward,

And have in their minds no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return,
Except as seeking (to fulfil) the purpose of his Lord Most High.
Illa ibtighaa wajhi rabbihi alaAAla
ইল্লাব্তিগা-য়া অজহি রব্বিহিল্ 'আলা-।

And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction.
