Chapter 92, 21 verses
শপথ রজনীর, যখন সে আচ্ছন্ন করে,
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the night enshrouding
I swear by the night when it draws a veil,
By the night when it covers
শপথ দিবসের, যখন উহা উদ্ভাসিত হয়
And the day resplendent
And the day when it shines in brightness,
And [by] the day when it appears
এবং শপথ তাঁহার, যিনি নর ও নারী সৃষ্টি করিয়াছেন -
And Him Who hath created male and female,
And the creating of the male and the female,
And [by] He who created the male and female,
অবশ্যই তোমাদের কর্মপ্রচেষ্টা বিভিন্ন প্রকৃতির।
Lo! your effort is dispersed (toward divers ends).
Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (ends).
Indeed, your efforts are diverse.
সুতরাং কেহ দান করিলে, হইলে
As for him who giveth and is dutiful (toward Allah)
Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil),
As for he who gives and fears Allah
এবং যাহা উত্তম তাহা সত্য বলিয়া গ্রহণ করিলে,
And believeth in goodness;
And accepts the best,
And believes in the best [reward],
আমি তাহার জন্য সুগম করিয়া দিব সহজ পথ।
Surely We will ease his way unto the state of ease.
We will facilitate for him the easy end.
We will ease him toward ease.
এবং কেহ কার্পণ্য করিলে ও নিজেকে স্বয়ংসম্পূর্ণ মনে করিলে,
But as for him who hoardeth and deemeth himself independent,
And as for him who is niggardly and considers himself free from need (of Allah),
But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need
আর যাহা উত্তম তাহা অস্বীকার করিলে,
And disbelieveth in goodness;
And rejects the best,
And denies the best [reward],
তাহার জন্য আমি সুগম করিয়া দিব কঠোর পথ।
Surely We will ease his way unto adversity.
We will facilitate for him the difficult end.
We will ease him toward difficulty.
এবং তাহার সম্পদ তাহার কোন কাজে আসিবে না, যখন সে ধ্বংস হইবে।
His riches will not save him when he perisheth.
And his wealth will not avail him when he perishes.
And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?
আমার কাজ তো কেবল পথনির্দেশ করা,
Lo! Ours it is (to give) the guidance
Surely Ours is it to show the way,
Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.
আমি তো মালিক পরলোকের ও ইহলোকের।
And lo! unto Us belong the latter portion and the former.
And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former.
And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].
আমি তোমাদেরকে লেলিহান অগ্নি সম্পর্কে সতর্ক করিয়া দিয়াছি।
Therefor have I warned you of the flaming Fire
Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames:
So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.
উহাতে প্রবেশ করিবে সে - ই, যে নিতান্ত হতভাগ্য,
Which only the most wretched must endure,
None shall enter it but the most unhappy,
None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one.
যে অস্বীকার করে ও মুখ ফিরাইয়া নেয়।
He who denieth and turneth away.
Who gives the lie (to the truth) and turns (his) back.
Who had denied and turned away.
আর উহা হইতে দূরে রাখা হইবে পরম মুত্তাকীকে,
Far removed from it will be the righteous
And away from it shall be kept the one who guards most (against evil),
But the righteous one will avoid it -
যে স্বীয় সম্পদ দান করে আত্মশুদ্ধির জন্য,
Who giveth his wealth that he may grow (in goodness).
Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself
[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself
এবং তাহার প্রতি কাহারও অনুগ্রহের প্রতিদানে নয়,
And none hath with him any favour for reward,
And no one has with him any boon for which he should be rewarded,
And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded
কেবল তাহার মহান প্রতিপালকের সন্তুষ্টির প্রত্যাশায় ;
Except as seeking (to fulfil) the purpose of his Lord Most High.
Except the seeking of the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High.
But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High.
সে তো অচিরেই সন্তোষ লাভ করিবে।
He verily will be content.
And he shall soon be well - pleased.
And he is going to be satisfied.
