Waalfajri
I swear by the daybreak,
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالْفَجْرِ
وَٱلْفَجْرِ
Walayalin AAashrin
And the ten nights,
وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ
وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ
WaalshshafAAi waalwatri
And the even and the odd,
وَالشَّفْعِ وَالْوَتْرِ
وَٱلشَّفْعِ وَٱلْوَتْرِ
Waallayli itha yasri
And the night when it departs.
وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ
Hal fee thalika qasamun lithee hijrin
Truly in that there is an oath for those who possess understanding.
هَلْ فِي ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِّذِي حِجْرٍ
هَلْ فِى ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِّذِى حِجْرٍ
Alam tara kayfa faAAala rabbuka biAAadin
Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with Ad,
أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ
أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ
Irama thati alAAimadi
(The people of) Aram, possessors of lofty buildings,
إِرَمَ ذَاتِ الْعِمَادِ
إِرَمَ ذَاتِ ٱلْعِمَادِ
Allatee lam yukhlaq mithluha fee albiladi
The like of which were not created in the (other) cities;
الَّتِي لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِي الْبِلَادِ
ٱلَّتِى لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِى ٱلْبِلَٰدِ
Wathamooda allatheena jaboo alssakhra bialwadi
And (with) Samood, who hewed out the rocks in the valley,
وَثَمُودَ الَّذِينَ جَابُوا الصَّخْرَ بِالْوَادِ
وَثَمُودَ ٱلَّذِينَ جَابُوا۟ ٱلصَّخْرَ بِٱلْوَادِ
WafirAAawna thee alawtadi
And (with) Firon, the lord of hosts,
وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِي الْأَوْتَادِ
وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِى ٱلْأَوْتَادِ
Allatheena taghaw fee albiladi
Who committed inordinacy in the cities,
الَّذِينَ طَغَوْا فِي الْبِلَادِ
ٱلَّذِينَ طَغَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْبِلَٰدِ
Faaktharoo feeha alfasada
So they made great mischief therein?
فَأَكْثَرُوا فِيهَا الْفَسَادَ
فَأَكْثَرُوا۟ فِيهَا ٱلْفَسَادَ
Fasabba AAalayhim rabbuka sawta AAathabin
Therefore your Lord let down upon them a portion of the chastisement.
فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ
فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ
Inna rabbaka labialmirsadi
Most surely your Lord is watching.
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِالْمِرْصَادِ
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِٱلْمِرْصَادِ
Faamma alinsanu itha ma ibtalahu rabbuhu faakramahu wanaAAAAamahu fayaqoolu rabbee akramani
And as for man, when his Lord tries him, then treats him with honor and makes him lead an easy life, he says: My Lord honors me.
فَأَمَّا الْإِنسَانُ إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ رَبُّهُ فَأَكْرَمَهُ وَنَعَّمَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَكْرَمَنِ
فَأَمَّا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَأَكْرَمَهُۥ وَنَعَّمَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَكْرَمَنِ
Waamma itha ma ibtalahu faqadara AAalayhi rizqahu fayaqoolu rabbee ahanani
But when He tries him (differently), then straitens to him his means of subsistence, he says: My Lord has disgraced me.
وَأَمَّا إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَهَانَنِ
وَأَمَّآ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَهَٰنَنِ
Kalla bal la tukrimoona alyateema
Nay! but you do not honor the orphan,
كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ الْيَتِيمَ
كَلَّا بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ ٱلْيَتِيمَ
Wala tahaddoona AAala taAAami almiskeeni
Nor do you urge one another to feed the poor,
وَلَا تَحَاضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ الْمِسْكِينِ
وَلَا تَحَٰٓضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ
Watakuloona altturatha aklan lamman
And you eat away the heritage, devouring (everything) indiscriminately,
وَتَأْكُلُونَ التُّرَاثَ أَكْلًا لَّمًّا
وَتَأْكُلُونَ ٱلتُّرَاثَ أَكْلًا لَّمًّا
Watuhibboona almala hubban jamman
And you love wealth with exceeding love.
وَتُحِبُّونَ الْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا
وَتُحِبُّونَ ٱلْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا
Kalla itha dukkati alardu dakkan dakkan
Nay! when the earth is made to crumble to pieces,
كَلَّا إِذَا دُكَّتِ الْأَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا
كَلَّآ إِذَا دُكَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا
Wajaa rabbuka waalmalaku saffan saffan
And your Lord comes and (also) the angels in ranks,
وَجَاءَ رَبُّكَ وَالْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا
وَجَآءَ رَبُّكَ وَٱلْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا
Wajeea yawmaithin bijahannama yawmaithin yatathakkaru alinsanu waanna lahu alththikra
And hell is made to appear on that day. On that day shall man be mindful, and what shall being mindful (then) avail him?
وَجِيءَ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِجَهَنَّمَ ۚ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْإِنسَانُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ الذِّكْرَىٰ
وَجِا۟ىٓءَ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِجَهَنَّمَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ
Yaqoolu ya laytanee qaddamtu lihayatee
He shall say: O! would that I had sent before for (this) my life!
يَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِي
يَقُولُ يَٰلَيْتَنِى قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِى
Fayawmaithin la yuAAaththibu AAathabahu ahadun
But on that day shall no one chastise with (anything like) His chastisement,
فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُ أَحَدٌ
فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ
Wala yoothiqu wathaqahu ahadun
And no one shall bind with (anything like) His binding.
وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُ أَحَدٌ
وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ
Ya ayyatuha alnnafsu almutmainnatu
O soul that art at rest!
يَا أَيَّتُهَا النَّفْسُ الْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ
يَٰٓأَيَّتُهَا ٱلنَّفْسُ ٱلْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ
IrjiAAee ila rabbiki radiyatan mardiyyatan
Return to your Lord, well - pleased (with him), well - pleasing (Him),
ارْجِعِي إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرْضِيَّةً
ٱرْجِعِىٓ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرْضِيَّةً

And enter into My garden.
وَادْخُلِي جَنَّتِي
