| وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ {١} |
1. I swear by the night when it draws a veil, |
| وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ {٢} |
2. And the day when it shines in brightness, |
| وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنْثَىٰ {٣} |
3. And the creating of the male and the female, |
| إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ {٤} |
4. Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (ends). |
| فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَاتَّقَىٰ {٥} |
5. Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil), |
| وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ {٦} |
6. And accepts the best, |
| فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ {٧} |
7. We will facilitate for him the easy end. |
| وَأَمَّا مَنْ بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَىٰ {٨} |
8. And as for him who is niggardly and considers himself free from need (of Allah), |
| وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ {٩} |
9. And rejects the best, |
| فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ {١٠} |
10. We will facilitate for him the difficult end. |
| وَمَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُ مَالُهُ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰ {١١} |
11. And his wealth will not avail him when he perishes. |
| إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ {١٢} |
12. Surely Ours is it to show the way, |
| وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْآخِرَةَ وَالْأُولَىٰ {١٣} |
13. And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former. |
| فَأَنْذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ {١٤} |
14. Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames: |
| لَا يَصْلَاهَا إِلَّا الْأَشْقَى {١٥} |
15. None shall enter it but the most unhappy, |
| الَّذِي كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ {١٦} |
16. Who gives the lie (to the truth) and turns (his) back. |
| وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا الْأَتْقَى {١٧} |
17. And away from it shall be kept the one who guards most (against evil), |
| الَّذِي يُؤْتِي مَالَهُ يَتَزَكَّىٰ {١٨} |
18. Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself |
| وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِنْدَهُ مِنْ نِعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰ {١٩} |
19. And no one has with him any boon for which he should be rewarded, |
| إِلَّا ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ الْأَعْلَىٰ {٢٠} |
20. Except the seeking of the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High. |
| وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ {٢١} |
21. And he shall soon be well-pleased. |
