بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
Waallayli itha yaghsha
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the night enshrouding
وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
Waalnnahari itha tajalla
And the day resplendent
وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَىٰ
Wama khalaqa alththakara waalontha
And Him Who hath created male and female,
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
Inna saAAyakum lashatta
Lo! your effort is dispersed (toward divers ends).
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَاتَّقَىٰ
Faamma man aAAta waittaqa
As for him who giveth and is dutiful (toward Allah)
وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ
Wasaddaqa bialhusna
And believeth in goodness;
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
Fasanuyassiruhu lilyusra
Surely We will ease his way unto the state of ease.
وَأَمَّا مَن بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَىٰ
Waamma man bakhila waistaghna
But as for him who hoardeth and deemeth himself independent,
وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ
Wakaththaba bialhusna
And disbelieveth in goodness;
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ
Fasanuyassiruhu lilAAusra
Surely We will ease his way unto adversity.
وَمَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُ مَالُهُ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰ
Wama yughnee AAanhu maluhu itha taradda
His riches will not save him when he perisheth.
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ
Inna AAalayna lalhuda
Lo! Ours it is (to give) the guidance
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْآخِرَةَ وَالْأُولَىٰ
Wainna lana lalakhirata waaloola
And lo! unto Us belong the latter portion and the former.
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ
Faanthartukum naran talaththa
Therefor have I warned you of the flaming Fire
لَا يَصْلَاهَا إِلَّا الْأَشْقَى
La yaslaha illa alashqa
Which only the most wretched must endure,
الَّذِي كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
Allathee kaththaba watawalla
He who denieth and turneth away.
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا الْأَتْقَى
Wasayujannabuha alatqa
Far removed from it will be the righteous
الَّذِي يُؤْتِي مَالَهُ يَتَزَكَّىٰ
Allathee yutee malahu yatazakka
Who giveth his wealth that he may grow (in goodness).
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰ
Wama liahadin AAindahu min niAAmatin tujza
And none hath with him any favour for reward,
إِلَّا ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ الْأَعْلَىٰ
Illa ibtighaa wajhi rabbihi alaAAla
Except as seeking (to fulfil) the purpose of his Lord Most High.
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
Walasawfa yarda
He verily will be content.
