I swear by the night when it draws a veil,

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والليل إذا يغشى

Chapter 92, 21 verses
Shakir
And the day when it shines in brightness,
Arabic
والنهار إذا تجلى

And the creating of the male and the female,
Arabic
وما خلق الذكر والأنثى

Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (ends).
Arabic
إن سعيكم لشتى

Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil),
Arabic
فأما من أعطى واتقى
Shakir
And accepts the best,
Arabic
وصدق بالحسنى
Shakir
We will facilitate for him the easy end.
Arabic
فسنيسره لليسرى
Shakir
And as for him who is niggardly and considers himself free from need (of Allah),
Arabic
وأما من بخل واستغنى
Shakir
And rejects the best,
Arabic
وكذب بالحسنى
Shakir
We will facilitate for him the difficult end.
Arabic
فسنيسره للعسرى
Shakir
And his wealth will not avail him when he perishes.
Arabic
وما يغني عنه ماله إذا تردى

Surely Ours is it to show the way,
Arabic
إن علينا للهدى

And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former.
Arabic
وإن لنا للآخرة والأولى

Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames:
Arabic
فأنذرتكم نارا تلظى

None shall enter it but the most unhappy,
Arabic
لا يصلاها إلا الأشقى
Shakir
Who gives the lie (to the truth) and turns (his) back.
Arabic
الذي كذب وتولى
Shakir
And away from it shall be kept the one who guards most (against evil),
Arabic
وسيجنبها الأتقى
Shakir
Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself
Arabic
الذي يؤتي ماله يتزكى

And no one has with him any boon for which he should be rewarded,

Except the seeking of the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High.

إلا ابتغاء وجه ربه الأعلى

And he shall soon be well - pleased.

ولسوف يرضى
