 |
| وَالْفَجْرِ {١} |
1. I CALL TO witness the dawn |
| وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ {٢} |
2. And the Ten Nights, |
| وَالشَّفْعِ وَالْوَتْرِ {٣} |
3. The multiple and the one, |
| وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ {٤} |
4. The night as it advances, |
| هَلْ فِي ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِذِي حِجْرٍ {٥} |
5. Is there not an evidence in this for those who have sense? |
| أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ {٦} |
6. Have you not seen what your Lord did to the ´Ad |
| إِرَمَ ذَاتِ الْعِمَادِ {٧} |
7. Of Eram with lofty pillars (erected as signposts in the desert), |
| الَّتِي لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِي الْبِلَادِ {٨} |
8. The like of whom were never created in the realm; |
| وَثَمُودَ الَّذِينَ جَابُوا الصَّخْرَ بِالْوَادِ {٩} |
9. And with Thamud who carved rocks in the valley; |
| وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِي الْأَوْتَادِ {١٠} |
10. And the mighty Pharaoh |
| الَّذِينَ طَغَوْا فِي الْبِلَادِ {١١} |
11. Who terrorised the region, |
| فَأَكْثَرُوا فِيهَا الْفَسَادَ {١٢} |
12. And multiplied corruption. |
| فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ {١٣} |
13. So your Lord poured a scourge of punishment over them. |
| إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِالْمِرْصَادِ {١٤} |
14. Your Lord is certainly in wait. |
| فَأَمَّا الْإِنْسَانُ إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ رَبُّهُ فَأَكْرَمَهُ وَنَعَّمَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَكْرَمَنِ {١٥} |
15. As for man, whenever his Lord tries him and then is gracious and provides good things for him, he says: "My Lord has been gracious to me." |
| وَأَمَّا إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَهَانَنِ {١٦} |
16. But when He tries him by restraining his means, he says: "My Lord despises me." |
| كَلَّا ۖ بَلْ لَا تُكْرِمُونَ الْيَتِيمَ {١٧} |
17. No. In fact you are not generous to the orphans, |
| وَلَا تَحَاضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ الْمِسْكِينِ {١٨} |
18. Nor do you urge one another to feed the poor, |
| وَتَأْكُلُونَ التُّرَاثَ أَكْلًا لَمًّا {١٩} |
19. And you devour (others´) inheritance greedily, |
| وَتُحِبُّونَ الْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا {٢٠} |
20. And love wealth with all your heart. |
| كَلَّا إِذَا دُكَّتِ الْأَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا {٢١} |
21. Surely when We pound the earth to powder grounded, pounded to dust, |
| وَجَاءَ رَبُّكَ وَالْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا {٢٢} |
22. And comes your Lord, and angels row on row, |
| وَجِيءَ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِجَهَنَّمَ ۚ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْإِنْسَانُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ الذِّكْرَىٰ {٢٣} |
23. And Hell is brought near, that day will man remember, but of what avail will then remembering be? |
| يَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِي {٢٤} |
24. He will say: "Alas the woe! Would that I had sent ahead something in my life." |
| فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُ أَحَدٌ {٢٥} |
25. None can punish as He will punish on that day, |
| وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُ أَحَدٌ {٢٦} |
26. And none can bind as He will bind. |
| يَا أَيَّتُهَا النَّفْسُ الْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ {٢٧} |
27. O you tranquil soul, |
| ارْجِعِي إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَرْضِيَّةً {٢٨} |
28. Return to your Lord, well-pleased and well-pleasing Him. |
| فَادْخُلِي فِي عِبَادِي {٢٩} |
29. "Enter then among My votaries, |
| وَادْخُلِي جَنَّتِي {٣٠} |
30. Enter then My garden." |
