In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the night enshrouding
রাতের শপথ, যখন সে ঢেকে যায়।
By the night when it covers
I swear by the night when it draws a veil,
Chapter 92, 21 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the night enshrouding
রাতের শপথ, যখন সে ঢেকে যায়।
By the night when it covers
I swear by the night when it draws a veil,
And the day resplendent
দিনের শপথ, যখন সে উঠে উজ্জ্বল হয়ে।
And [by] the day when it appears
And the day when it shines in brightness,
And Him Who hath created male and female,
এবং শপথ তাঁর, যিনি সৃষ্টি করেছেন পুরুষ আর নারী।
And [by] He who created the male and female,
And the creating of the male and the female,
Lo! your effort is dispersed (toward divers ends).
নিশ্চয়ই তোমাদের প্রচেষ্টাও (অনুরূপ বিপরীতধর্মী এবং) নানা রকমের।
Indeed, your efforts are diverse.
Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (ends).
As for him who giveth and is dutiful (toward Allah)
তবে (যার কর্ম প্রচেষ্টার ধরণ হলো এই যে) সে দান করে এবং মন্দ কাজ থেকে দূরে থাকে,
As for he who gives and fears Allah
Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil),
And believeth in goodness;
আর যা কল্যাণকর সেটাকে সত্য বলে গ্রহণ করে,
And believes in the best [reward],
And accepts the best,
Surely We will ease his way unto the state of ease.
আমরা তার জন্যে সহজ করে দেবো সহজ (কল্যাণের) পথকে।
We will ease him toward ease.
We will facilitate for him the easy end.
But as for him who hoardeth and deemeth himself independent,
কিন্তু যে বখিলি করে এবং নিজেকে মনে করে স্বয়ম্ভর,
But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need
And as for him who is niggardly and considers himself free from need (of Allah),
And disbelieveth in goodness;
আর যা কল্যাণকর সেটাকে করে অস্বীকার,
And denies the best [reward],
And rejects the best,
Surely We will ease his way unto adversity.
আমরা তার জন্যে সহজ করে দেবো কঠিন (অকল্যাণের) পথকে।
We will ease him toward difficulty.
We will facilitate for him the difficult end.
His riches will not save him when he perisheth.
তার কী উপকারে আসবে তার মাল - সম্পদ যখন সে পতিত হবে (ধ্বংসের দিকে)?
And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?
And his wealth will not avail him when he perishes.
Lo! Ours it is (to give) the guidance
সঠিক পথ দেখানো তো আমাদের দায়িত্ব।
Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.
Surely Ours is it to show the way,
And lo! unto Us belong the latter portion and the former.
আর আমরাই তো মালিক এবং ইহকালের।
And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].
And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former.
Therefor have I warned you of the flaming Fire
তাই আমি তোমাদের সতর্ক করে দিচ্ছি জ্বলন্ত আগুন থেকে।
So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.
Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames:
Which only the most wretched must endure,
তাতে কেউ প্রবেশ করবেনা দুর্ভাগা ছাড়া,
None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one.
None shall enter it but the most unhappy,
He who denieth and turneth away.
যে (সত্যকে) অস্বীকার করে এবং মুখ ফিরিয়ে নেয়।
Who had denied and turned away.
Who gives the lie (to the truth) and turns (his) back.
Far removed from it will be the righteous
আর তা থেকে দূরে রাখা হবে অতীব (সদা সতর্ক) ব্যক্তিকে,
But the righteous one will avoid it -
And away from it shall be kept the one who guards most (against evil),
Who giveth his wealth that he may grow (in goodness).
যে তার মাল - সম্পদ দান করে নিজের পরিশুদ্ধি ও উন্নতির জন্যে,
[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself
Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself
And none hath with him any favour for reward,
তার প্রতি কারো অনুগ্রহের প্রতিদান হিসেবে নয়,
And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded
And no one has with him any boon for which he should be rewarded,
Except as seeking (to fulfil) the purpose of his Lord Most High.
বরং শুধুমাত্র তার মহান প্রভুর সন্তুষ্টির প্রত্যাশায়।
But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High.
Except the seeking of the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High.
He verily will be content.
আর অচিরেই তিনি সন্তুষ্ট হবেন (তার প্রতি)।
And he is going to be satisfied.
And he shall soon be well - pleased.
