Chapter 92, 21 verses
By the Night as it conceals (the light);
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
Waallayli itha yaghsha
By the Day as it appears in glory;
وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
Waalnnahari itha tajalla
By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female; -
وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَىٰ
Wama khalaqa alththakara waalontha
Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse.
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
Inna saAAyakum lashatta
So he who gives (in charity) and fears (Allah),
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَاتَّقَىٰ
Faamma man aAAta waittaqa
And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best, -
وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ
Wasaddaqa bialhusna
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss.
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
Fasanuyassiruhu lilyusra
But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self - sufficient,
وَأَمَّا مَن بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَىٰ
Waamma man bakhila waistaghna
And gives the lie to the best, -
وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ
Wakaththaba bialhusna
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery;
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ
Fasanuyassiruhu lilAAusra
Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit).
وَمَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُ مَالُهُ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰ
Wama yughnee AAanhu maluhu itha taradda
Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide,
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ
Inna AAalayna lalhuda
And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning.
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْآخِرَةَ وَالْأُولَىٰ
Wainna lana lalakhirata waaloola
Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely;
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ
Faanthartukum naran talaththa
None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones
لَا يَصْلَاهَا إِلَّا الْأَشْقَى
La yaslaha illa alashqa
Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs.
الَّذِي كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
Allathee kaththaba watawalla
But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it, -
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا الْأَتْقَى
Wasayujannabuha alatqa
Those who spend their wealth for increase in self - purification,
الَّذِي يُؤْتِي مَالَهُ يَتَزَكَّىٰ
Allathee yutee malahu yatazakka
And have in their minds no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return,
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰ
Wama liahadin AAindahu min niAAmatin tujza
But only the desire to seek for the Countenance of their Lord Most High;
إِلَّا ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ الْأَعْلَىٰ
Illa ibtighaa wajhi rabbihi alaAAla
And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction.
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
Walasawfa yarda
