فأنذرتكم نارا تلظى

الذي كذب وتولى

ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ

وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى
[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself
الذي يؤتي ماله يتزكى

وما لأحد عنده من نعمة تجزى

وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰٓ
But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High.
إلا ابتغاء وجه ربه الأعلى

إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
And he is going to be satisfied.
ولسوف يرضى
He surely will be pleased (when he enters Paradise).
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
