আল লায়ীল (রাত)

1 Waallayli itha yaghsha

1 By the Night as it conceals (the light);

2 Waalnnahari itha tajalla

2 By the Day as it appears in glory;

3 Wama khalaqa alththakara waalontha

3 By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female; -

4 Inna saAAyakum lashatta

4 Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse.

5 Faamma man aAAta waittaqa

5 So he who gives (in charity) and fears (Allah),

6 Wasaddaqa bialhusna

6 And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best, -

7 Fasanuyassiruhu lilyusra

7 We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss.

8 Waamma man bakhila waistaghna

8 But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self - sufficient,

9 Wakaththaba bialhusna

9 And gives the lie to the best, -

10 Fasanuyassiruhu lilAAusra

10 We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery;

11 Wama yughnee AAanhu maluhu itha taradda

11 Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit).

12 Inna AAalayna lalhuda

12 Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide,

13 Wainna lana lalakhirata waaloola

13 And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning.

14 Faanthartukum naran talaththa

14 Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely;

15 La yaslaha illa alashqa

15 None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones

16 Allathee kaththaba watawalla

16 Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs.

17 Wasayujannabuha alatqa

17 But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it, -

18 Allathee yutee malahu yatazakka

18 Those who spend their wealth for increase in self - purification,

19 Wama liahadin AAindahu min niAAmatin tujza

19 And have in their minds no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return,

20 Illa ibtighaa wajhi rabbihi alaAAla

20 But only the desire to seek for the Countenance of their Lord Most High;

21 Walasawfa yarda

21 And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction.
