Waallayli itha yaghsha
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والليل إذا يغشى
By the Night as it conceals (the light);
Waalnnahari itha tajalla
وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
والنهار إذا تجلى

Wama khalaqa alththakara waalontha
وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَىٰ
وما خلق الذكر والأنثى
By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female; -
Inna saAAyakum lashatta
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
إن سعيكم لشتى
Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse.
Faamma man aAAta waittaqa
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَاتَّقَىٰ
فأما من أعطى واتقى
So he who gives (in charity) and fears (Allah),
Wasaddaqa bialhusna
وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ
وصدق بالحسنى
And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best, -
Fasanuyassiruhu lilyusra
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
فسنيسره لليسرى
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss.
Waamma man bakhila waistaghna
وَأَمَّا مَن بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَىٰ
وأما من بخل واستغنى
But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self - sufficient,
Wakaththaba bialhusna
وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ
وكذب بالحسنى
And gives the lie to the best, -
Fasanuyassiruhu lilAAusra
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ
فسنيسره للعسرى

Wama yughnee AAanhu maluhu itha taradda
وَمَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُ مَالُهُ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰ
وما يغني عنه ماله إذا تردى
Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit).
Inna AAalayna lalhuda
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ
إن علينا للهدى
Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide,
Wainna lana lalakhirata waaloola
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْآخِرَةَ وَالْأُولَىٰ
وإن لنا للآخرة والأولى
And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning.
Faanthartukum naran talaththa
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ
فأنذرتكم نارا تلظى
Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely;
La yaslaha illa alashqa
لَا يَصْلَاهَا إِلَّا الْأَشْقَى
لا يصلاها إلا الأشقى
None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones
Allathee kaththaba watawalla
الَّذِي كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
الذي كذب وتولى
Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs.
Wasayujannabuha alatqa
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا الْأَتْقَى
وسيجنبها الأتقى
But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it, -
Allathee yutee malahu yatazakka
الَّذِي يُؤْتِي مَالَهُ يَتَزَكَّىٰ
الذي يؤتي ماله يتزكى
Those who spend their wealth for increase in self - purification,
Wama liahadin AAindahu min niAAmatin tujza
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰ
وما لأحد عنده من نعمة تجزى
And have in their minds no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return,
Illa ibtighaa wajhi rabbihi alaAAla
إِلَّا ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ الْأَعْلَىٰ
إلا ابتغاء وجه ربه الأعلى
But only the desire to seek for the Countenance of their Lord Most High;
Walasawfa yarda
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
ولسوف يرضى
And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction.
