আল লায়ীল

1 By the Night as it conceals (the light);

1 By the night when it covers

2 By the Day as it appears in glory;

2 And [by] the day when it appears

3 By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female; -

3 And [by] He who created the male and female,

4 Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse.

4 Indeed, your efforts are diverse.

5 So he who gives (in charity) and fears (Allah),

5 As for he who gives and fears Allah

6 And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best, -

6 And believes in the best [reward],

7 We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss.

7 We will ease him toward ease.

8 But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self - sufficient,

8 But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need

9 And gives the lie to the best, -

9 And denies the best [reward],

10 We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery;

10 We will ease him toward difficulty.

11 Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit).

11 And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?

12 Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide,

12 Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.

13 And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning.

13 And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].

14 Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely;

14 So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.

15 None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones

15 None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one.

16 Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs.

16 Who had denied and turned away.

17 But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it, -

17 But the righteous one will avoid it -

18 Those who spend their wealth for increase in self - purification,

18 [He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself

19 And have in their minds no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return,

19 And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded

20 But only the desire to seek for the Countenance of their Lord Most High;

20 But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High.

21 And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction.

21 And he is going to be satisfied.
