I swear by the night when it draws a veil,
রাতের শপথ, যখন সে ঢেকে যায়।
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the night enshrouding
By the night when it covers
Chapter 92, 21 verses
I swear by the night when it draws a veil,
রাতের শপথ, যখন সে ঢেকে যায়।
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the night enshrouding
By the night when it covers
And the day when it shines in brightness,
দিনের শপথ, যখন সে উঠে উজ্জ্বল হয়ে।
And the day resplendent
And [by] the day when it appears
And the creating of the male and the female,
এবং শপথ তাঁর, যিনি সৃষ্টি করেছেন পুরুষ আর নারী।
And Him Who hath created male and female,
And [by] He who created the male and female,
Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (ends).
নিশ্চয়ই তোমাদের প্রচেষ্টাও (অনুরূপ বিপরীতধর্মী এবং) নানা রকমের।
Lo! your effort is dispersed (toward divers ends).
Indeed, your efforts are diverse.
Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil),
তবে (যার কর্ম প্রচেষ্টার ধরণ হলো এই যে) সে দান করে এবং মন্দ কাজ থেকে দূরে থাকে,
As for him who giveth and is dutiful (toward Allah)
As for he who gives and fears Allah
And accepts the best,
আর যা কল্যাণকর সেটাকে সত্য বলে গ্রহণ করে,
And believeth in goodness;
And believes in the best [reward],
We will facilitate for him the easy end.
আমরা তার জন্যে সহজ করে দেবো সহজ (কল্যাণের) পথকে।
Surely We will ease his way unto the state of ease.
We will ease him toward ease.
And as for him who is niggardly and considers himself free from need (of Allah),
কিন্তু যে বখিলি করে এবং নিজেকে মনে করে স্বয়ম্ভর,
But as for him who hoardeth and deemeth himself independent,
But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need
And rejects the best,
আর যা কল্যাণকর সেটাকে করে অস্বীকার,
And disbelieveth in goodness;
And denies the best [reward],
We will facilitate for him the difficult end.
আমরা তার জন্যে সহজ করে দেবো কঠিন (অকল্যাণের) পথকে।
Surely We will ease his way unto adversity.
We will ease him toward difficulty.
And his wealth will not avail him when he perishes.
তার কী উপকারে আসবে তার মাল - সম্পদ যখন সে পতিত হবে (ধ্বংসের দিকে)?
His riches will not save him when he perisheth.
And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?
Surely Ours is it to show the way,
সঠিক পথ দেখানো তো আমাদের দায়িত্ব।
Lo! Ours it is (to give) the guidance
Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.
And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former.
আর আমরাই তো মালিক এবং ইহকালের।
And lo! unto Us belong the latter portion and the former.
And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].
Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames:
তাই আমি তোমাদের সতর্ক করে দিচ্ছি জ্বলন্ত আগুন থেকে।
Therefor have I warned you of the flaming Fire
So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.
None shall enter it but the most unhappy,
তাতে কেউ প্রবেশ করবেনা দুর্ভাগা ছাড়া,
Which only the most wretched must endure,
None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one.
Who gives the lie (to the truth) and turns (his) back.
যে (সত্যকে) অস্বীকার করে এবং মুখ ফিরিয়ে নেয়।
He who denieth and turneth away.
Who had denied and turned away.
And away from it shall be kept the one who guards most (against evil),
আর তা থেকে দূরে রাখা হবে অতীব (সদা সতর্ক) ব্যক্তিকে,
Far removed from it will be the righteous
But the righteous one will avoid it -
Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself
যে তার মাল - সম্পদ দান করে নিজের পরিশুদ্ধি ও উন্নতির জন্যে,
Who giveth his wealth that he may grow (in goodness).
[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself
And no one has with him any boon for which he should be rewarded,
তার প্রতি কারো অনুগ্রহের প্রতিদান হিসেবে নয়,
And none hath with him any favour for reward,
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.
বরং শুধুমাত্র তার মহান প্রভুর সন্তুষ্টির প্রত্যাশায়।
Except as seeking (to fulfil) the purpose of his Lord Most High.
But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High.
And he shall soon be well - pleased.
আর অচিরেই তিনি সন্তুষ্ট হবেন (তার প্রতি)।
He verily will be content.
And he is going to be satisfied.
