Chapter 92, 21 verses
I swear by the night when it draws a veil,
By the night when it covers
ভাবো রাত্রির কথা, যখন তা ঢেকে দেয়,
By the Night as it conceals (the light);
And the day when it shines in brightness,
And [by] the day when it appears
আর দিনের কথা যখন তা ঝলমল করে;
By the Day as it appears in glory;
And the creating of the male and the female,
And [by] He who created the male and female,
আর তাঁর কথা যিনি পুরুষ ও নারী সৃষ্টি করেছেন।
By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female; -
Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (ends).
Indeed, your efforts are diverse.

Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse.
Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil),
As for he who gives and fears Allah
সুতরাং যে কেউ দান করে ও ধর্মভীরুতা অবলন্বন করে,
So he who gives (in charity) and fears (Allah),
And accepts the best,
And believes in the best [reward],
এবং সুষ্ঠু - সুন্দর বিষয়ে সত্যনিষ্ঠ থাকে,
And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best, -
We will facilitate for him the easy end.
We will ease him toward ease.
আমি শীঘই তার জন্য তবে সহজ করে দেব আরাম করার জন্য।
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss.
And as for him who is niggardly and considers himself free from need (of Allah),
But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need
কিন্ত তার ক্ষেত্রে যে কৃপণতা করে ও নিজেকে স্বয়ংসমৃদ্ধ জ্ঞান করে,
But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self - sufficient,
And rejects the best,
And denies the best [reward],
এবং সুষ্ঠু - সুন্দর বিষয়ে মিথ্যারোপ করে,
And gives the lie to the best, -
We will facilitate for him the difficult end.
We will ease him toward difficulty.
তার জন্য তবে আমি অচিরেই সহজ করে দেব কষ্ট ভোগের জন্য।
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery;
And his wealth will not avail him when he perishes.
And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?
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).
Surely Ours is it to show the way,
Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.
নিঃসন্দেহ আমাদের কর্তব্য তো পথনির্দেশ করা চ
Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide,
And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former.
And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].
আর নিঃসন্দেহ আমরাই তো মালিক পরকালের ও পূর্বকালের।
And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning.
Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames:
So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.
সেজন্য তোমাদের সাবধান করে দিচ্ছি লেলিহান আগুন সন্বন্ধে,
Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely;
None shall enter it but the most unhappy,
None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one.
তাতে প্রবেশ করবে না নিতান্ত হতভাগ্য ব্যতীত - -
None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones
Who gives the lie (to the truth) and turns (his) back.
Who had denied and turned away.
যে মিথ্যারোপ করে ও ফিরে যায়।
Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs.
And away from it shall be kept the one who guards most (against evil),
But the righteous one will avoid it -
আর এর থেকে আলবৎ দূরে রাখা হবে তাকে যে পরম ধর্মভীরু - -
But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it, -
Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself
[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself
যে তার ধনদেলত দান করে, আত্মশুদ্ধি করে,
Those who spend their wealth for increase in self - purification,
And no one has with him any boon for which he should be rewarded,
And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to 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,
Except the seeking of the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High.
But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High.
তার মহিমান্বিত প্রভুর প্রসন্নবদন কামনা ব্যতীত।
But only the desire to seek for the Countenance of their Lord Most High;
And he shall soon be well - pleased.
And he is going to be satisfied.
আর অচিরেই সে তো সন্তোষ লাভ করবেই।
And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction.
