এবং দশ রাতের,
By the Nights twice five;
And the even and the odd,
And by the even and the odd (of all the creations of Allah).
এবং জোড় ও বেজোড়ের,
By the even and odd (contrasted);
And the night when it departs.

Truly in that there is an oath for those who possess understanding.
There is indeed in them (the above oaths) sufficient proofs for men of understanding (and that, they should avoid all kinds of sins and disbeliefs)!

Therefore did thy Lord pour on them a scourge of diverse chastisements:
Most surely your Lord is watching.

As for man, when his Lord tries him by giving him honour and bounties, then he says (in exultation): "My Lord has honoured me."
আর মানুষ—যখন তার প্রতিপালক তাকে পরীক্ষা করেন, অতঃপর তাকে সম্মানিত করেন এবং অনুগ্রহ দেন, তখন সে বলে, “আমার প্রতিপালক আমাকে সম্মানিত করেছেন,”
Now, as for man, when his Lord trieth him, giving him honour and gifts, then saith he, (puffed up), "My Lord hath honoured me."

But when He tries him by straitening his means of life, he says: "My Lord has humiliated me!"

And you love wealth with exceeding love.
And you love wealth with much love.
এবং তোমরা ধনসম্পদ অতিরিক্ত ভালোবাসো,

And hell is made to appear on that day. On that day shall man be mindful, and what shall being mindful (then) avail him?
And Hell will be brought near that Day. On that Day will man remember, but how will that remembrance (then) avail him?

He will say: "Ah! Would that I had sent forth (good deeds) for (this) my (Future) Life!"
But on that day shall no one chastise with (anything like) His chastisement,
So on that Day none will punish as He will punish.
সেদিন তাঁর মতো শাস্তি কেউ দিতে পারবে না,
For, that Day, His Chastisement will be such as none (else) can inflict,
And no one shall bind with (anything like) His binding.
And none will bind (the wicked, disbelievers and polytheists) as He will bind.
এবং তাঁর মতো কেউ বাঁধতে পারবে না,
And His bonds will be such as none (other) can bind.

"Enter thou, then, among My devotees!
And enter into My garden.
"And enter you My Paradise!"
