Chapter 92, 21 verses
Waallayli itha yaghsha
I swear by the night when it draws a veil,
By the Night as it conceals (the light);
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
Waalnnahari itha tajalla
And the day when it shines in brightness,
By the Day as it appears in glory;
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
Wama khalaqa alththakara waalontha
And the creating of the male and the female,
By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female; -
وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ
Inna saAAyakum lashatta
Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (ends).
Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse.
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
Faamma man aAAta waittaqa
Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil),
So he who gives (in charity) and fears (Allah),
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ
Wasaddaqa bialhusna
And accepts the best,
And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best, -
وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
Fasanuyassiruhu lilyusra
We will facilitate for him the easy end.
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss.
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
Waamma man bakhila waistaghna
And as for him who is niggardly and considers himself free from need (of Allah),
But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self - sufficient,
وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
Wakaththaba bialhusna
And rejects the best,
And gives the lie to the best, -
وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
Fasanuyassiruhu lilAAusra
We will facilitate for him the difficult end.
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery;
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ
Wama yughnee AAanhu maluhu itha taradda
And his wealth will not avail him when he perishes.
Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit).
وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ
Inna AAalayna lalhuda
Surely Ours is it to show the way,
Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide,
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ
Wainna lana lalakhirata waaloola
And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former.
And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning.
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْءَاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ
Faanthartukum naran talaththa
Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames:
Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely;
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ
La yaslaha illa alashqa
None shall enter it but the most unhappy,
None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones
لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى
Allathee kaththaba watawalla
Who gives the lie (to the truth) and turns (his) back.
Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs.
ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
Wasayujannabuha alatqa
And away from it shall be kept the one who guards most (against evil),
But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it, -
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى
Allathee yutee malahu yatazakka
Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself
Those who spend their wealth for increase in self - purification,
ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ
Wama liahadin AAindahu min niAAmatin tujza
And no one has with him any boon for which he should be rewarded,
And have in their minds no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return,
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰٓ
Illa ibtighaa wajhi rabbihi alaAAla
Except the seeking of the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High.
But only the desire to seek for the Countenance of their Lord Most High;
إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
Walasawfa yarda
And he shall soon be well - pleased.
And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction.
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
