Al Fajr

1 By the dawn

1 Waalfajri

2 And [by] ten nights

2 Walayalin AAashrin

3 And [by] the even [number] and the odd

3 WaalshshafAAi waalwatri

4 And [by] the night when it passes,

4 Waallayli itha yasri

5 Is there [not] in [all] that an oath [sufficient] for one of perception?

5 Hal fee thalika qasamun lithee hijrin

6 Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with 'Aad -

6 Alam tara kayfa faAAala rabbuka biAAadin

7 [With] Iram - who had lofty pillars,

7 Irama thati alAAimadi

8 The likes of whom had never been created in the land?

8 Allatee lam yukhlaq mithluha fee albiladi

9 And [with] Thamud, who carved out the rocks in the valley?

9 Wathamooda allatheena jaboo alssakhra bialwadi

10 And [with] Pharaoh, owner of the stakes? -

10 WafirAAawna thee alawtadi

11 [All of] whom oppressed within the lands

11 Allatheena taghaw fee albiladi

12 And increased therein the corruption.

12 Faaktharoo feeha alfasada

13 So your Lord poured upon them a scourge of punishment.

13 Fasabba AAalayhim rabbuka sawta AAathabin

14 Indeed, your Lord is in observation.

14 Inna rabbaka labialmirsadi

15 And as for man, when his Lord tries him and [thus] is generous to him and favors him, he says, "My Lord has honored me."

15 Faamma alinsanu itha ma ibtalahu rabbuhu faakramahu wanaAAAAamahu fayaqoolu rabbee akramani

16 But when He tries him and restricts his provision, he says, "My Lord has humiliated me."

16 Waamma itha ma ibtalahu faqadara AAalayhi rizqahu fayaqoolu rabbee ahanani

17 No! But you do not honor the orphan

17 Kalla bal la tukrimoona alyateema

18 And you do not encourage one another to feed the poor.

18 Wala tahaddoona AAala taAAami almiskeeni

19 And you consume inheritance, devouring [it] altogether,

19 Watakuloona altturatha aklan lamman

20 And you love wealth with immense love.

20 Watuhibboona almala hubban jamman

21 No! When the earth has been leveled - pounded and crushed -

21 Kalla itha dukkati alardu dakkan dakkan

22 And your Lord has come and the angels, rank upon rank,

22 Wajaa rabbuka waalmalaku saffan saffan

23 And brought [within view], that Day, is Hell - that Day, man will remember, but what good to him will be the remembrance?

23 Wajeea yawmaithin bijahannama yawmaithin yatathakkaru alinsanu waanna lahu alththikra

24 He will say, "Oh, I wish I had sent ahead [some good] for my life."

24 Yaqoolu ya laytanee qaddamtu lihayatee

25 So on that Day, none will punish [as severely] as His punishment,

25 Fayawmaithin la yuAAaththibu AAathabahu ahadun

26 And none will bind [as severely] as His binding [of the evildoers].

26 Wala yoothiqu wathaqahu ahadun

27 [To the righteous it will be said], "O reassured soul,

27 Ya ayyatuha alnnafsu almutmainnatu

28 Return to your Lord, well - pleased and pleasing [to Him],

28 IrjiAAee ila rabbiki radiyatan mardiyyatan

29 And enter among My [righteous] servants

29 Faodkhulee fee AAibadee

30 And enter My Paradise."

30 Waodkhulee jannatee
