| وَالْفَجْرِ {١} |
1. By the break of Day |
| وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ {٢} |
2. By the Nights twice five; |
| وَالشَّفْعِ وَالْوَتْرِ {٣} |
3. By the even and odd (contrasted); |
| وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ {٤} |
4. And by the Night when it passeth away;- |
| هَلْ فِي ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِذِي حِجْرٍ {٥} |
5. Is there (not) in these an adjuration (or evidence) for those who understand? |
| أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ {٦} |
6. Seest thou not how thy Lord dealt with the ´Ad (people),- |
| إِرَمَ ذَاتِ الْعِمَادِ {٧} |
7. Of the (city of) Iram, with lofty pillars, |
| الَّتِي لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِي الْبِلَادِ {٨} |
8. The like of which were not produced in (all) the land? |
| وَثَمُودَ الَّذِينَ جَابُوا الصَّخْرَ بِالْوَادِ {٩} |
9. And with the Thamud (people), who cut out (huge) rocks in the valley?- |
| وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِي الْأَوْتَادِ {١٠} |
10. And with Pharaoh, lord of stakes? |
| الَّذِينَ طَغَوْا فِي الْبِلَادِ {١١} |
11. (All) these transgressed beyond bounds in the lands, |
| فَأَكْثَرُوا فِيهَا الْفَسَادَ {١٢} |
12. And heaped therein mischief (on mischief). |
| فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ {١٣} |
13. Therefore did thy Lord pour on them a scourge of diverse chastisements: |
| إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِالْمِرْصَادِ {١٤} |
14. For thy Lord is (as a Guardian) on a watch-tower. |
| فَأَمَّا الْإِنْسَانُ إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ رَبُّهُ فَأَكْرَمَهُ وَنَعَّمَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَكْرَمَنِ {١٥} |
15. Now, as for man, when his Lord trieth him, giving him honour and gifts, then saith he, (puffed up), "My Lord hath honoured me." |
| وَأَمَّا إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَهَانَنِ {١٦} |
16. But when He trieth him, restricting his subsistence for him, then saith he (in despair), "My Lord hath humiliated me!" |
| كَلَّا ۖ بَلْ لَا تُكْرِمُونَ الْيَتِيمَ {١٧} |
17. Nay, nay! but ye honour not the orphans! |
| وَلَا تَحَاضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ الْمِسْكِينِ {١٨} |
18. Nor do ye encourage one another to feed the poor!- |
| وَتَأْكُلُونَ التُّرَاثَ أَكْلًا لَمًّا {١٩} |
19. And ye devour inheritance - all with greed, |
| وَتُحِبُّونَ الْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا {٢٠} |
20. And ye love wealth with inordinate love! |
| كَلَّا إِذَا دُكَّتِ الْأَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا {٢١} |
21. Nay! When the earth is pounded to powder, |
| وَجَاءَ رَبُّكَ وَالْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا {٢٢} |
22. And thy Lord cometh, and His angels, rank upon rank, |
| وَجِيءَ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِجَهَنَّمَ ۚ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْإِنْسَانُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ الذِّكْرَىٰ {٢٣} |
23. And Hell, that Day, is brought (face to face),- on that Day will man remember, but how will that remembrance profit him? |
| يَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِي {٢٤} |
24. He will say: "Ah! Would that I had sent forth (good deeds) for (this) my (Future) Life!" |
| فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُ أَحَدٌ {٢٥} |
25. For, that Day, His Chastisement will be such as none (else) can inflict, |
| وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُ أَحَدٌ {٢٦} |
26. And His bonds will be such as none (other) can bind. |
| يَا أَيَّتُهَا النَّفْسُ الْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ {٢٧} |
27. (To the righteous soul will be said:) "O (thou) soul, in (complete) rest and satisfaction! |
| ارْجِعِي إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَرْضِيَّةً {٢٨} |
28. "Come back thou to thy Lord,- well pleased (thyself), and well-pleasing unto Him! |
| فَادْخُلِي فِي عِبَادِي {٢٩} |
29. "Enter thou, then, among My devotees! |
| وَادْخُلِي جَنَّتِي {٣٠} |
30. "Yea, enter thou My Heaven! |
