Chapter 92, 21 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the night enshrouding
By the Night as it conceals (the light);
শপথ রজনীর, যখন সে আচ্ছন্ন করে,
I swear by the night when it draws a veil,
And the day resplendent
By the Day as it appears in glory;
শপথ দিবসের, যখন উহা উদ্ভাসিত হয়
And the day when it shines in brightness,
And Him Who hath created male and female,
By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female; -
এবং শপথ তাঁহার, যিনি নর ও নারী সৃষ্টি করিয়াছেন -
And the creating of the male and the female,
Lo! your effort is dispersed (toward divers ends).
Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse.
অবশ্যই তোমাদের কর্মপ্রচেষ্টা বিভিন্ন প্রকৃতির।
Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (ends).
As for him who giveth and is dutiful (toward Allah)
So he who gives (in charity) and fears (Allah),
সুতরাং কেহ দান করিলে, হইলে
Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil),
And believeth in goodness;
And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best, -
এবং যাহা উত্তম তাহা সত্য বলিয়া গ্রহণ করিলে,
And accepts the best,
Surely We will ease his way unto the state of ease.
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss.
আমি তাহার জন্য সুগম করিয়া দিব সহজ পথ।
We will facilitate for him the easy end.
But as for him who hoardeth and deemeth himself independent,
But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self - sufficient,
এবং কেহ কার্পণ্য করিলে ও নিজেকে স্বয়ংসম্পূর্ণ মনে করিলে,
And as for him who is niggardly and considers himself free from need (of Allah),
And disbelieveth in goodness;
And gives the lie to the best, -
আর যাহা উত্তম তাহা অস্বীকার করিলে,
And rejects the best,
Surely We will ease his way unto adversity.
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery;
তাহার জন্য আমি সুগম করিয়া দিব কঠোর পথ।
We will facilitate for him the difficult end.
His riches will not save him when he perisheth.
Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit).
এবং তাহার সম্পদ তাহার কোন কাজে আসিবে না, যখন সে ধ্বংস হইবে।
And his wealth will not avail him when he perishes.
Lo! Ours it is (to give) the guidance
Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide,
আমার কাজ তো কেবল পথনির্দেশ করা,
Surely Ours is it to show the way,
And lo! unto Us belong the latter portion and the former.
And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning.
আমি তো মালিক পরলোকের ও ইহলোকের।
And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former.
Therefor have I warned you of the flaming Fire
Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely;
আমি তোমাদেরকে লেলিহান অগ্নি সম্পর্কে সতর্ক করিয়া দিয়াছি।
Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames:
Which only the most wretched must endure,
None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones
উহাতে প্রবেশ করিবে সে - ই, যে নিতান্ত হতভাগ্য,
None shall enter it but the most unhappy,
He who denieth and turneth away.
Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs.
যে অস্বীকার করে ও মুখ ফিরাইয়া নেয়।
Who gives the lie (to the truth) and turns (his) back.
Far removed from it will be the righteous
But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it, -
আর উহা হইতে দূরে রাখা হইবে পরম মুত্তাকীকে,
And away from it shall be kept the one who guards most (against evil),
Who giveth his wealth that he may grow (in goodness).
Those who spend their wealth for increase in self - purification,
যে স্বীয় সম্পদ দান করে আত্মশুদ্ধির জন্য,
Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself
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,
এবং তাহার প্রতি কাহারও অনুগ্রহের প্রতিদানে নয়,
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.
But only the desire to seek for the Countenance of their Lord Most High;
কেবল তাহার মহান প্রতিপালকের সন্তুষ্টির প্রত্যাশায় ;
Except the seeking of the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High.
He verily will be content.
And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction.
সে তো অচিরেই সন্তোষ লাভ করিবে।
And he shall soon be well - pleased.
