Chapter 92, 21 verses
Waallayli itha yaghsha
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والليل إذا يغشى
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the night enshrouding
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
Waalnnahari itha tajalla
والنهار إذا تجلى
And the day resplendent
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
Wama khalaqa alththakara waalontha
وما خلق الذكر والأنثى
And Him Who hath created male and female,
وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ
Inna saAAyakum lashatta
إن سعيكم لشتى
Lo! your effort is dispersed (toward divers ends).
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
Faamma man aAAta waittaqa
فأما من أعطى واتقى
As for him who giveth and is dutiful (toward Allah)
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ
Wasaddaqa bialhusna
وصدق بالحسنى
And believeth in goodness;
وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
Fasanuyassiruhu lilyusra
فسنيسره لليسرى
Surely We will ease his way unto the state of ease.
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
Waamma man bakhila waistaghna
وأما من بخل واستغنى
But as for him who hoardeth and deemeth himself independent,
وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
Wakaththaba bialhusna
وكذب بالحسنى
And disbelieveth in goodness;
وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
Fasanuyassiruhu lilAAusra
فسنيسره للعسرى
Surely We will ease his way unto adversity.
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ
Wama yughnee AAanhu maluhu itha taradda
وما يغني عنه ماله إذا تردى
His riches will not save him when he perisheth.
وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ
Inna AAalayna lalhuda
إن علينا للهدى
Lo! Ours it is (to give) the guidance
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ
Wainna lana lalakhirata waaloola
وإن لنا للآخرة والأولى
And lo! unto Us belong the latter portion and the former.
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْءَاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ
Faanthartukum naran talaththa
فأنذرتكم نارا تلظى
Therefor have I warned you of the flaming Fire
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ
La yaslaha illa alashqa
لا يصلاها إلا الأشقى
Which only the most wretched must endure,
لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى
Allathee kaththaba watawalla
الذي كذب وتولى
He who denieth and turneth away.
ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
Wasayujannabuha alatqa
وسيجنبها الأتقى
Far removed from it will be the righteous
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى
Allathee yutee malahu yatazakka
الذي يؤتي ماله يتزكى
Who giveth his wealth that he may grow (in goodness).
ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ
Wama liahadin AAindahu min niAAmatin tujza
وما لأحد عنده من نعمة تجزى
And none hath with him any favour for reward,
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰٓ
Illa ibtighaa wajhi rabbihi alaAAla
إلا ابتغاء وجه ربه الأعلى
Except as seeking (to fulfil) the purpose of his Lord Most High.
إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
Walasawfa yarda
ولسوف يرضى
He verily will be content.
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
