Chapter 92, 21 verses
By the Night as it conceals (the light);
Waallayli itha yaghsha
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والليل إذا يغشى
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
By the Day as it appears in glory;
Waalnnahari itha tajalla
والنهار إذا تجلى
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female; -
Wama khalaqa alththakara waalontha
وما خلق الذكر والأنثى
وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ
Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse.
Inna saAAyakum lashatta
إن سعيكم لشتى
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
So he who gives (in charity) and fears (Allah),
Faamma man aAAta waittaqa
فأما من أعطى واتقى
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ
And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best, -
Wasaddaqa bialhusna
وصدق بالحسنى
وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss.
Fasanuyassiruhu lilyusra
فسنيسره لليسرى
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self - sufficient,
Waamma man bakhila waistaghna
وأما من بخل واستغنى
وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
And gives the lie to the best, -
Wakaththaba bialhusna
وكذب بالحسنى
وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery;
Fasanuyassiruhu lilAAusra
فسنيسره للعسرى
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ
Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit).
Wama yughnee AAanhu maluhu itha taradda
وما يغني عنه ماله إذا تردى
وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ
Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide,
Inna AAalayna lalhuda
إن علينا للهدى
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ
And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning.
Wainna lana lalakhirata waaloola
وإن لنا للآخرة والأولى
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْءَاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ
Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely;
Faanthartukum naran talaththa
فأنذرتكم نارا تلظى
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ
None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones
La yaslaha illa alashqa
لا يصلاها إلا الأشقى
لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى
Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs.
Allathee kaththaba watawalla
الذي كذب وتولى
ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it, -
Wasayujannabuha alatqa
وسيجنبها الأتقى
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى
Those who spend their wealth for increase in self - purification,
Allathee yutee malahu yatazakka
الذي يؤتي ماله يتزكى
ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ
And have in their minds no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return,
Wama liahadin AAindahu min niAAmatin tujza
وما لأحد عنده من نعمة تجزى
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰٓ
But only the desire to seek for the Countenance of their Lord Most High;
Illa ibtighaa wajhi rabbihi alaAAla
إلا ابتغاء وجه ربه الأعلى
إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction.
Walasawfa yarda
ولسوف يرضى
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
