Chapter 92, 21 verses
I swear by the night when it draws a veil,
ভাবো রাত্রির কথা, যখন তা ঢেকে দেয়,
By the Night as it conceals (the light);
By the night when it covers
And the day when it shines in brightness,
আর দিনের কথা যখন তা ঝলমল করে;
By the Day as it appears in glory;
And [by] the day when it appears
And the creating of the male and the female,
আর তাঁর কথা যিনি পুরুষ ও নারী সৃষ্টি করেছেন।
By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female; -

Indeed, your efforts are diverse.
Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil),
সুতরাং যে কেউ দান করে ও ধর্মভীরুতা অবলন্বন করে,
So he who gives (in charity) and fears (Allah),
As for he who gives and fears Allah
And accepts the best,
এবং সুষ্ঠু - সুন্দর বিষয়ে সত্যনিষ্ঠ থাকে,
And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best, -
And believes in the best [reward],
We will facilitate for him the easy end.
আমি শীঘই তার জন্য তবে সহজ করে দেব আরাম করার জন্য।
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss.
We will ease him toward ease.
And as for him who is niggardly and considers himself free from need (of Allah),
কিন্ত তার ক্ষেত্রে যে কৃপণতা করে ও নিজেকে স্বয়ংসমৃদ্ধ জ্ঞান করে,
But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self - sufficient,
But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need
And rejects the best,
এবং সুষ্ঠু - সুন্দর বিষয়ে মিথ্যারোপ করে,
And gives the lie to the best, -
And denies the best [reward],
We will facilitate for him the difficult end.
তার জন্য তবে আমি অচিরেই সহজ করে দেব কষ্ট ভোগের জন্য।

And his wealth will not avail him when he perishes.
আর তার ধনসম্পদ তার কোনো কাজে আসবে না যখন সে অধঃপাতে পড়বে।
Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit).
And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?
Surely Ours is it to show the way,
নিঃসন্দেহ আমাদের কর্তব্য তো পথনির্দেশ করা চ
Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide,
Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.
And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former.
আর নিঃসন্দেহ আমরাই তো মালিক পরকালের ও পূর্বকালের।
And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning.
And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].
Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames:
সেজন্য তোমাদের সাবধান করে দিচ্ছি লেলিহান আগুন সন্বন্ধে,
Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely;
So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.
None shall enter it but the most unhappy,
তাতে প্রবেশ করবে না নিতান্ত হতভাগ্য ব্যতীত - -
None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones
None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one.
Who gives the lie (to the truth) and turns (his) back.
যে মিথ্যারোপ করে ও ফিরে যায়।
Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs.
Who had denied and turned away.
And away from it shall be kept the one who guards most (against evil),
আর এর থেকে আলবৎ দূরে রাখা হবে তাকে যে পরম ধর্মভীরু - -
But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it, -
But the righteous one will avoid it -
Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself
যে তার ধনদেলত দান করে, আত্মশুদ্ধি করে,
Those who spend their wealth for increase in self - purification,
[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself
And no one has with him any boon for which he should be rewarded,
আর কারো ক্ষেত্রে তার জন্য এমন কোনো অনুগ্রহসামগ্রী নেই যার জন্যে সে প্রতিদান দাবি করতে পারে - -
And have in their minds no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return,
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.
তার মহিমান্বিত প্রভুর প্রসন্নবদন কামনা ব্যতীত।
But only the desire to seek for the Countenance of their Lord Most High;
But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High.
And he shall soon be well - pleased.
আর অচিরেই সে তো সন্তোষ লাভ করবেই।
And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction.
And he is going to be satisfied.
