وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ
Hal fee thalika qasamun lithee hijrin
هل في ذلك قسم لذي حجر
Is there [not] in [all] that an oath [sufficient] for one of perception?
هَلْ فِى ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِّذِى حِجْرٍ
Alam tara kayfa faAAala rabbuka biAAadin
ألم تر كيف فعل ربك بعاد
Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with 'Aad -
أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ
Irama thati alAAimadi
إرم ذات العماد
[With] Iram - who had lofty pillars,
إِرَمَ ذَاتِ ٱلْعِمَادِ
Allatee lam yukhlaq mithluha fee albiladi
التي لم يخلق مثلها في البلاد
The likes of whom had never been created in the land?
ٱلَّتِى لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِى ٱلْبِلَٰدِ
Wathamooda allatheena jaboo alssakhra bialwadi
وثمود الذين جابوا الصخر بالواد

WafirAAawna thee alawtadi
وفرعون ذي الأوتاد

فَأَكْثَرُوا۟ فِيهَا ٱلْفَسَادَ
Fasabba AAalayhim rabbuka sawta AAathabin
فصب عليهم ربك سوط عذاب
So your Lord poured upon them a scourge of punishment.
فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ
Inna rabbaka labialmirsadi
إن ربك لبالمرصاد
Indeed, your Lord is in observation.
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِٱلْمِرْصَادِ
Faamma alinsanu itha ma ibtalahu rabbuhu faakramahu wanaAAAAamahu fayaqoolu rabbee akramani
فأما الإنسان إذا ما ابتلاه ربه فأكرمه ونعمه فيقول ربي أكرمن
And as for man, when his Lord tries him and [thus] is generous to him and favors him, he says, "My Lord has honored me."
فَأَمَّا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَأَكْرَمَهُۥ وَنَعَّمَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَكْرَمَنِ
Waamma itha ma ibtalahu faqadara AAalayhi rizqahu fayaqoolu rabbee ahanani
وأما إذا ما ابتلاه فقدر عليه رزقه فيقول ربي أهانن
But when He tries him and restricts his provision, he says, "My Lord has humiliated me."
وَأَمَّآ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَهَٰنَنِ
Kalla bal la tukrimoona alyateema
كلا ۖ بل لا تكرمون اليتيم
No! But you do not honor the orphan
كَلَّا بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ ٱلْيَتِيمَ
Wala tahaddoona AAala taAAami almiskeeni
ولا تحاضون على طعام المسكين
And you do not encourage one another to feed the poor.
وَلَا تَحَٰٓضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ
Watakuloona altturatha aklan lamman
وتأكلون التراث أكلا لما
And you consume inheritance, devouring [it] altogether,
وَتَأْكُلُونَ ٱلتُّرَاثَ أَكْلًا لَّمًّا
Watuhibboona almala hubban jamman
وتحبون المال حبا جما
And you love wealth with immense love.
وَتُحِبُّونَ ٱلْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا
Kalla itha dukkati alardu dakkan dakkan
كلا إذا دكت الأرض دكا دكا
No! When the earth has been leveled - pounded and crushed -
كَلَّآ إِذَا دُكَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا
Wajaa rabbuka waalmalaku saffan saffan
وجاء ربك والملك صفا صفا
And your Lord has come and the angels, rank upon rank,
وَجَآءَ رَبُّكَ وَٱلْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا
Wajeea yawmaithin bijahannama yawmaithin yatathakkaru alinsanu waanna lahu alththikra
وجيء يومئذ بجهنم ۚ يومئذ يتذكر الإنسان وأنى له الذكرى
And brought [within view], that Day, is Hell - that Day, man will remember, but what good to him will be the remembrance?
وَجِا۟ىٓءَ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِجَهَنَّمَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ
Yaqoolu ya laytanee qaddamtu lihayatee
يقول يا ليتني قدمت لحياتي
He will say, "Oh, I wish I had sent ahead [some good] for my life."
يَقُولُ يَٰلَيْتَنِى قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِى
Fayawmaithin la yuAAaththibu AAathabahu ahadun
فيومئذ لا يعذب عذابه أحد
So on that Day, none will punish [as severely] as His punishment,
فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ
Wala yoothiqu wathaqahu ahadun
ولا يوثق وثاقه أحد
And none will bind [as severely] as His binding [of the evildoers].
وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ
Ya ayyatuha alnnafsu almutmainnatu
يا أيتها النفس المطمئنة
[To the righteous it will be said], "O reassured soul,
يَٰٓأَيَّتُهَا ٱلنَّفْسُ ٱلْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ
IrjiAAee ila rabbiki radiyatan mardiyyatan
ارجعي إلى ربك راضية مرضية
Return to your Lord, well - pleased and pleasing [to Him],
ٱرْجِعِىٓ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرْضِيَّةً
Faodkhulee fee AAibadee
فادخلي في عبادي
And enter among My [righteous] servants
فَٱدْخُلِى فِى عِبَٰدِى
Waodkhulee jannatee
وادخلي جنتي
And enter My Paradise."
وَٱدْخُلِى جَنَّتِى
