I swear by the night when it draws a veil,
Waallayli itha yaghsha
Chapter 92, 21 verses
I swear by the night when it draws a veil,
Waallayli itha yaghsha
And the day when it shines in brightness,
Waalnnahari itha tajalla
And the creating of the male and the female,
Wama khalaqa alththakara waalontha
Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (ends).
Inna saAAyakum lashatta
Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil),
Faamma man aAAta waittaqa
And accepts the best,
Wasaddaqa bialhusna
We will facilitate for him the easy end.
Fasanuyassiruhu lilyusra
And as for him who is niggardly and considers himself free from need (of Allah),
Waamma man bakhila waistaghna
And rejects the best,
Wakaththaba bialhusna
We will facilitate for him the difficult end.
Fasanuyassiruhu lilAAusra
And his wealth will not avail him when he perishes.
Wama yughnee AAanhu maluhu itha taradda
Surely Ours is it to show the way,
Inna AAalayna lalhuda
And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former.
Wainna lana lalakhirata waaloola
Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames:
Faanthartukum naran talaththa
None shall enter it but the most unhappy,
La yaslaha illa alashqa
Who gives the lie (to the truth) and turns (his) back.
Allathee kaththaba watawalla
And away from it shall be kept the one who guards most (against evil),
Wasayujannabuha alatqa
Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself
Allathee yutee malahu yatazakka
And no one has with him any boon for which he should be rewarded,
Wama liahadin AAindahu min niAAmatin tujza
Except the seeking of the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High.
Illa ibtighaa wajhi rabbihi alaAAla
And he shall soon be well - pleased.
