 |
| وَالْفَجْرِ {١} |
1. By oath of the (particular) dawn. |
| وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ {٢} |
2. And by oath of ten nights. |
| وَالشَّفْعِ وَالْوَتْرِ {٣} |
3. And by oath of the even and the odd. |
| وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ {٤} |
4. And by oath of the night when it recedes |
| هَلْ فِي ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِذِي حِجْرٍ {٥} |
5. Why is there an oath in this, for the intelligent? |
| أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ {٦} |
6. Did you not see how did your Lord deal with (the tribe of) Aad? |
| إِرَمَ ذَاتِ الْعِمَادِ {٧} |
7. (And) the tall giants of Iram? |
| الَّتِي لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِي الْبِلَادِ {٨} |
8. Like whom no one else was born in the cities. |
| وَثَمُودَ الَّذِينَ جَابُوا الصَّخْرَ بِالْوَادِ {٩} |
9. And the tribe of Thamud, who hewed rocks in the valley. |
| وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِي الْأَوْتَادِ {١٠} |
10. And with Firaun, who used to crucify. |
| الَّذِينَ طَغَوْا فِي الْبِلَادِ {١١} |
11. Those who rebelled in the cities, |
| فَأَكْثَرُوا فِيهَا الْفَسَادَ {١٢} |
12. And who then spread a lot of turmoil in them. |
| فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ {١٣} |
13. Therefore your Lord struck them hard with the means of punishment. |
| إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِالْمِرْصَادِ {١٤} |
14. Indeed nothing is hidden from the sight of your Lord. |
| فَأَمَّا الْإِنْسَانُ إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ رَبُّهُ فَأَكْرَمَهُ وَنَعَّمَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَكْرَمَنِ {١٥} |
15. So man, whenever his Lord tests him by giving him honour and favours – thereupon he says, “My Lord has honoured me.” |
| وَأَمَّا إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَهَانَنِ {١٦} |
16. And if He tests him and restricts his livelihood – thereupon he says, “My Lord has degraded me!” |
| كَلَّا ۖ بَلْ لَا تُكْرِمُونَ الْيَتِيمَ {١٧} |
17. Not at all – but rather you do not honour the orphan. |
| وَلَا تَحَاضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ الْمِسْكِينِ {١٨} |
18. And do not urge one another to feed the needy. |
| وَتَأْكُلُونَ التُّرَاثَ أَكْلًا لَمًّا {١٩} |
19. And you readily devour the inheritance with greed. |
| وَتُحِبُّونَ الْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا {٢٠} |
20. And you harbour intense love for wealth. |
| كَلَّا إِذَا دُكَّتِ الْأَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا {٢١} |
21. Most certainly - when the earth is smashed and blown to bits. |
| وَجَاءَ رَبُّكَ وَالْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا {٢٢} |
22. And when the command of your Lord comes – and the angels row by row, |
| وَجِيءَ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِجَهَنَّمَ ۚ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْإِنْسَانُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ الذِّكْرَىٰ {٢٣} |
23. And when hell is brought that day – on that day will man reflect, but where is the time now to think? |
| يَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِي {٢٤} |
24. He will say, “Alas – if only I had sent some good deeds ahead, during my lifetime!” |
| فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُ أَحَدٌ {٢٥} |
25. So on that day, no one punishes like He does! |
| وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُ أَحَدٌ {٢٦} |
26. And no one binds like He does! |
| يَا أَيَّتُهَا النَّفْسُ الْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ {٢٧} |
27. O the contented soul! |
| ارْجِعِي إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَرْضِيَّةً {٢٨} |
28. Return towards your Lord – you being pleased with Him, and He pleased with you! |
| فَادْخُلِي فِي عِبَادِي {٢٩} |
29. Then enter the ranks of My chosen bondmen! |
| وَادْخُلِي جَنَّتِي {٣٠} |
30. And come into My Paradise! |
