In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. By the night as it envelops.
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the night enshrouding
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
By the day as it appears in brightness.
And the day resplendent
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
By Him Who created male and female.
And Him Who hath created male and female,
وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ

Lo! your effort is dispersed (toward divers ends).
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
As for him who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to Allah and fears Him,
As for him who giveth and is dutiful (toward Allah)
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ
And believes in Al-Husna.
And believeth in goodness;
وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ

Surely We will ease his way unto the state of ease.
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
But he who is greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient.
But as for him who hoardeth and deemeth himself independent,
وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
And belies Al-Husna (See the footnote of the Verse No.6)
And disbelieveth in goodness;
وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
We will make smooth for him the path for evil.
Surely We will ease his way unto adversity.
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ
And what will his wealth avail him when he goes down (in destruction)?.
His riches will not save him when he perisheth.
وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ
Truly! On Us is (to give) guidance.
Lo! Ours it is (to give) the guidance
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ
And truly, unto Us (belong) the last (Hereafter) and the first (this world).
And lo! unto Us belong the latter portion and the former.
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْءَاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ
Therefore I have warned you of a blazing Fire (Hell).
Therefor have I warned you of the flaming Fire
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ
None shall enter it save the most wretched.
Which only the most wretched must endure,
لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى
Who denies and turns away.
He who denieth and turneth away.
ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
And Al-Muttaqun (the pious - See V.2:2) will be far removed from it (Hell).
Far removed from it will be the righteous
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى
He who spends his wealth for increase in self-purification,
Who giveth his wealth that he may grow (in goodness).
ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ
And who has (in mind) no favour from anyone to be paid back,
And none hath with him any favour for reward,
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰٓ
Except to seek the Countenance of his Lord, the Most High.
Except as seeking (to fulfil) the purpose of his Lord Most High.
إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
He surely will be pleased (when he enters Paradise).
He verily will be content.
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
