Chapter 92, 21 verses
I swear by the night when it draws a veil,
Waallayli itha yaghsha
বিসমিল্লাহির রাহমা-নির রাহি-ম অল্লাইলি ইযা-ইয়াগ্শা-।
By the night when it covers
And the day when it shines in brightness,
Waalnnahari itha tajalla
অন্নাহা-রি ইযা-তাজ্বাল্লা-।
And [by] the day when it appears
And the creating of the male and the female,
Wama khalaqa alththakara waalontha
অমা-খলাক্বায্ যাকার অল্উন্সা-।
And [by] He who created the male and female,
Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (ends).
Inna saAAyakum lashatta
ইন্না সা'ইয়াকুম্ লাশাত্তা-।
Indeed, your efforts are diverse.
Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil),
Faamma man aAAta waittaqa
ফাআম্মা মান্ আ'ত্বোয়া-অত্তাক্ব-।
As for he who gives and fears Allah
And accepts the best,
Wasaddaqa bialhusna
অ ছোয়াদ্দাক্বা বিল্হুস্না-।
And believes in the best [reward],
We will facilitate for him the easy end.
Fasanuyassiruhu lilyusra
ফাসানুইয়াস্সিরুহূ লিল্ইয়ুস্র-।
We will ease him toward ease.
And as for him who is niggardly and considers himself free from need (of Allah),
Waamma man bakhila waistaghna
অআম্মা-মাম্ বাখিলা অস্তাগ্না-।
But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need
And rejects the best,
Wakaththaba bialhusna
অ কায্যাবা বিল্হুস্না-।
And denies the best [reward],
We will facilitate for him the difficult end.
Fasanuyassiruhu lilAAusra
ফাসানুইয়াস্সিরুহূ লিল্ 'উসরা।
We will ease him toward difficulty.
And his wealth will not avail him when he perishes.
Wama yughnee AAanhu maluhu itha taradda
অমা-ইয়ুগ্নী 'আন্হু মা-লুহূ য় ইযা-তারাদ্দা-।
And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?
Surely Ours is it to show the way,
Inna AAalayna lalhuda
ইন্না 'আলাইনা- লাল্হুদা-।
Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.
And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former.
Wainna lana lalakhirata waaloola
অইন্না লানা- লাল্আ-খিরতা অল্ ঊলা-।
And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].
Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames:
Faanthartukum naran talaththa
ফাআর্ন্যাতুকুম্ না-রান্ তালাজ্জোয়া-।
So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.
None shall enter it but the most unhappy,
La yaslaha illa alashqa
লা-ইয়াছ্লা-হা য় ইল্লাল্ আশ্ক্ব।
None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one.
Who gives the lie (to the truth) and turns (his) back.
Allathee kaththaba watawalla
ল্লাযী কায্যাবা অতাওয়াল্লা-।
Who had denied and turned away.
And away from it shall be kept the one who guards most (against evil),
Wasayujannabuha alatqa
অসাইয়ুজ্বান্নাবুহাল্ আত্ক্ব।
But the righteous one will avoid it -
Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself
Allathee yutee malahu yatazakka
আল্লাযী ইয়ু”তী মা-লাহূ ইয়াতাযাক্কা-।
[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself
And no one has with him any boon for which he should be rewarded,
Wama liahadin AAindahu min niAAmatin tujza
অমা-লিআহাদিন্ 'ইন্দাহূ মিন্ নি'মাতিন্ তুজযা য়।
And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded
Except the seeking of the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High.
Illa ibtighaa wajhi rabbihi alaAAla
ইল্লাব্তিগা-য়া অজহি রব্বিহিল্ 'আলা-।
But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High.
And he shall soon be well - pleased.
Walasawfa yarda
অলাসাওফা ইর্য়াদ্বোয়া-।
And he is going to be satisfied.
