Chapter 89, 30 verses
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالْفَجْرِ
Waalfajri
I swear by the daybreak,
وَٱلْفَجْرِ
وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ
Walayalin AAashrin
And the ten nights,
وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ
وَالشَّفْعِ وَالْوَتْرِ
WaalshshafAAi waalwatri
And the even and the odd,
وَٱلشَّفْعِ وَٱلْوَتْرِ
وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ
Waallayli itha yasri
And the night when it departs.
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ
هَلْ فِي ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِّذِي حِجْرٍ
Hal fee thalika qasamun lithee hijrin
Truly in that there is an oath for those who possess understanding.
هَلْ فِى ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِّذِى حِجْرٍ
أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ
Alam tara kayfa faAAala rabbuka biAAadin
Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with Ad,
أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ
إِرَمَ ذَاتِ الْعِمَادِ
Irama thati alAAimadi
(The people of) Aram, possessors of lofty buildings,
إِرَمَ ذَاتِ ٱلْعِمَادِ
الَّتِي لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِي الْبِلَادِ
Allatee lam yukhlaq mithluha fee albiladi
The like of which were not created in the (other) cities;
ٱلَّتِى لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِى ٱلْبِلَٰدِ
وَثَمُودَ الَّذِينَ جَابُوا الصَّخْرَ بِالْوَادِ
Wathamooda allatheena jaboo alssakhra bialwadi
And (with) Samood, who hewed out the rocks in the valley,
وَثَمُودَ ٱلَّذِينَ جَابُوا۟ ٱلصَّخْرَ بِٱلْوَادِ
وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِي الْأَوْتَادِ
WafirAAawna thee alawtadi
And (with) Firon, the lord of hosts,
وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِى ٱلْأَوْتَادِ
الَّذِينَ طَغَوْا فِي الْبِلَادِ
Allatheena taghaw fee albiladi
Who committed inordinacy in the cities,
ٱلَّذِينَ طَغَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْبِلَٰدِ
فَأَكْثَرُوا فِيهَا الْفَسَادَ
Faaktharoo feeha alfasada
So they made great mischief therein?
فَأَكْثَرُوا۟ فِيهَا ٱلْفَسَادَ
فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ
Fasabba AAalayhim rabbuka sawta AAathabin
Therefore your Lord let down upon them a portion of the chastisement.
فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِالْمِرْصَادِ
Inna rabbaka labialmirsadi
Most surely your Lord is watching.
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِٱلْمِرْصَادِ
فَأَمَّا الْإِنسَانُ إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ رَبُّهُ فَأَكْرَمَهُ وَنَعَّمَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَكْرَمَنِ
Faamma alinsanu itha ma ibtalahu rabbuhu faakramahu wanaAAAAamahu fayaqoolu rabbee akramani
And as for man, when his Lord tries him, then treats him with honor and makes him lead an easy life, he says: My Lord honors me.
فَأَمَّا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَأَكْرَمَهُۥ وَنَعَّمَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَكْرَمَنِ
وَأَمَّا إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَهَانَنِ
Waamma itha ma ibtalahu faqadara AAalayhi rizqahu fayaqoolu rabbee ahanani
But when He tries him (differently), then straitens to him his means of subsistence, he says: My Lord has disgraced me.
وَأَمَّآ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَهَٰنَنِ
كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ الْيَتِيمَ
Kalla bal la tukrimoona alyateema
Nay! but you do not honor the orphan,
كَلَّا بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ ٱلْيَتِيمَ
وَلَا تَحَاضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ الْمِسْكِينِ
Wala tahaddoona AAala taAAami almiskeeni
Nor do you urge one another to feed the poor,
وَلَا تَحَٰٓضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ
وَتَأْكُلُونَ التُّرَاثَ أَكْلًا لَّمًّا
Watakuloona altturatha aklan lamman
And you eat away the heritage, devouring (everything) indiscriminately,
وَتَأْكُلُونَ ٱلتُّرَاثَ أَكْلًا لَّمًّا
وَتُحِبُّونَ الْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا
Watuhibboona almala hubban jamman
And you love wealth with exceeding love.
وَتُحِبُّونَ ٱلْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا
كَلَّا إِذَا دُكَّتِ الْأَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا
Kalla itha dukkati alardu dakkan dakkan
Nay! when the earth is made to crumble to pieces,
كَلَّآ إِذَا دُكَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا
وَجَاءَ رَبُّكَ وَالْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا
Wajaa rabbuka waalmalaku saffan saffan
And your Lord comes and (also) the angels in ranks,
وَجَآءَ رَبُّكَ وَٱلْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا
وَجِيءَ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِجَهَنَّمَ ۚ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْإِنسَانُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ الذِّكْرَىٰ
Wajeea yawmaithin bijahannama yawmaithin yatathakkaru alinsanu waanna lahu alththikra
And hell is made to appear on that day. On that day shall man be mindful, and what shall being mindful (then) avail him?
وَجِا۟ىٓءَ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِجَهَنَّمَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ
يَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِي
Yaqoolu ya laytanee qaddamtu lihayatee
He shall say: O! would that I had sent before for (this) my life!
يَقُولُ يَٰلَيْتَنِى قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِى
فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُ أَحَدٌ
Fayawmaithin la yuAAaththibu AAathabahu ahadun
But on that day shall no one chastise with (anything like) His chastisement,
فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ
وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُ أَحَدٌ
Wala yoothiqu wathaqahu ahadun
And no one shall bind with (anything like) His binding.
وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ
يَا أَيَّتُهَا النَّفْسُ الْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ
Ya ayyatuha alnnafsu almutmainnatu
O soul that art at rest!
يَٰٓأَيَّتُهَا ٱلنَّفْسُ ٱلْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ
ارْجِعِي إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرْضِيَّةً
IrjiAAee ila rabbiki radiyatan mardiyyatan
Return to your Lord, well - pleased (with him), well - pleasing (Him),
ٱرْجِعِىٓ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرْضِيَّةً
فَادْخُلِي فِي عِبَادِي
Faodkhulee fee AAibadee
So enter among My servants,
فَٱدْخُلِى فِى عِبَٰدِى
وَادْخُلِي جَنَّتِي
Waodkhulee jannatee
And enter into My garden.
وَٱدْخُلِى جَنَّتِى
