Chapter 92, 21 verses
Waallayli itha yaghsha
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والليل إذا يغشى
I swear by the night when it draws a veil,
Waalnnahari itha tajalla
والنهار إذا تجلى
And the day when it shines in brightness,
Wama khalaqa alththakara waalontha
وما خلق الذكر والأنثى
And the creating of the male and the female,
Inna saAAyakum lashatta
إن سعيكم لشتى
Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (ends).
Faamma man aAAta waittaqa
فأما من أعطى واتقى
Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil),
Wasaddaqa bialhusna
وصدق بالحسنى
And accepts the best,
Fasanuyassiruhu lilyusra
فسنيسره لليسرى
We will facilitate for him the easy end.
Waamma man bakhila waistaghna
وأما من بخل واستغنى
And as for him who is niggardly and considers himself free from need (of Allah),
Wakaththaba bialhusna
وكذب بالحسنى
And rejects the best,
Fasanuyassiruhu lilAAusra
فسنيسره للعسرى
We will facilitate for him the difficult end.
Wama yughnee AAanhu maluhu itha taradda
وما يغني عنه ماله إذا تردى
And his wealth will not avail him when he perishes.
Inna AAalayna lalhuda
إن علينا للهدى
Surely Ours is it to show the way,
Wainna lana lalakhirata waaloola
وإن لنا للآخرة والأولى
And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former.
Faanthartukum naran talaththa
فأنذرتكم نارا تلظى
Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames:
La yaslaha illa alashqa
لا يصلاها إلا الأشقى
None shall enter it but the most unhappy,
Allathee kaththaba watawalla
الذي كذب وتولى
Who gives the lie (to the truth) and turns (his) back.
Wasayujannabuha alatqa
وسيجنبها الأتقى
And away from it shall be kept the one who guards most (against evil),
Allathee yutee malahu yatazakka
الذي يؤتي ماله يتزكى
Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself
Wama liahadin AAindahu min niAAmatin tujza
وما لأحد عنده من نعمة تجزى
And no one has with him any boon for which he should be rewarded,
Illa ibtighaa wajhi rabbihi alaAAla
إلا ابتغاء وجه ربه الأعلى
Except the seeking of the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High.
Walasawfa yarda
ولسوف يرضى
And he shall soon be well - pleased.
