Chapter 92, 21 verses
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
By the Night as it conceals (the light);
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والليل إذا يغشى
وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
By the Day as it appears in glory;
والنهار إذا تجلى
وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَىٰ
By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female; -
وما خلق الذكر والأنثى
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse.
إن سعيكم لشتى
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَاتَّقَىٰ
So he who gives (in charity) and fears (Allah),
فأما من أعطى واتقى
وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ
And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best, -
وصدق بالحسنى
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss.
فسنيسره لليسرى
وَأَمَّا مَن بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَىٰ
But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self - sufficient,
وأما من بخل واستغنى
وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ
And gives the lie to the best, -
وكذب بالحسنى
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery;
فسنيسره للعسرى
وَمَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُ مَالُهُ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰ
Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit).
وما يغني عنه ماله إذا تردى
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ
Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide,
إن علينا للهدى
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْآخِرَةَ وَالْأُولَىٰ
And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning.
وإن لنا للآخرة والأولى
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ
Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely;
فأنذرتكم نارا تلظى
لَا يَصْلَاهَا إِلَّا الْأَشْقَى
None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones
لا يصلاها إلا الأشقى
الَّذِي كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs.
الذي كذب وتولى
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا الْأَتْقَى
But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it, -
وسيجنبها الأتقى
الَّذِي يُؤْتِي مَالَهُ يَتَزَكَّىٰ
Those who spend their wealth for increase in self - purification,
الذي يؤتي ماله يتزكى
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰ
And have in their minds no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return,
وما لأحد عنده من نعمة تجزى
إِلَّا ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ الْأَعْلَىٰ
But only the desire to seek for the Countenance of their Lord Most High;
إلا ابتغاء وجه ربه الأعلى
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction.
ولسوف يرضى
