Chapter 92, 21 verses
Waallayli itha yaghsha
I swear by the night when it draws a veil,
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
Waalnnahari itha tajalla
And the day when it shines in brightness,
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
Wama khalaqa alththakara waalontha
And the creating of the male and the female,
وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ
Inna saAAyakum lashatta
Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (ends).
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
Faamma man aAAta waittaqa
Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil),
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ
Wasaddaqa bialhusna
And accepts the best,
وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
Fasanuyassiruhu lilyusra
We will facilitate for him the easy end.
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
Waamma man bakhila waistaghna
And as for him who is niggardly and considers himself free from need (of Allah),
وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
Wakaththaba bialhusna
And rejects the best,
وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
Fasanuyassiruhu lilAAusra
We will facilitate for him the difficult end.
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ
Wama yughnee AAanhu maluhu itha taradda
And his wealth will not avail him when he perishes.
وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ
Inna AAalayna lalhuda
Surely Ours is it to show the way,
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ
Wainna lana lalakhirata waaloola
And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former.
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْءَاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ
Faanthartukum naran talaththa
Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames:
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ
La yaslaha illa alashqa
None shall enter it but the most unhappy,
لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى
Allathee kaththaba watawalla
Who gives the lie (to the truth) and turns (his) back.
ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
Wasayujannabuha alatqa
And away from it shall be kept the one who guards most (against evil),
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى
Allathee yutee malahu yatazakka
Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself
ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ
Wama liahadin AAindahu min niAAmatin tujza
And no one has with him any boon for which he should be rewarded,
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰٓ
Illa ibtighaa wajhi rabbihi alaAAla
Except the seeking of the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High.
إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
Walasawfa yarda
And he shall soon be well - pleased.
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
