| وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ {١} |
1. By the Night as it conceals (the light); |
| وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ {٢} |
2. By the Day as it appears in glory; |
| وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنْثَىٰ {٣} |
3. By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female;- |
| إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ {٤} |
4. Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse. |
| فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَاتَّقَىٰ {٥} |
5. So he who gives (in charity) and fears (Allah), |
| وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ {٦} |
6. And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best,- |
| فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ {٧} |
7. We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss. |
| وَأَمَّا مَنْ بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَىٰ {٨} |
8. But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient, |
| وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ {٩} |
9. And gives the lie to the best,- |
| فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ {١٠} |
10. We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery; |
| وَمَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُ مَالُهُ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰ {١١} |
11. Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit). |
| إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ {١٢} |
12. Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide, |
| وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْآخِرَةَ وَالْأُولَىٰ {١٣} |
13. And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning. |
| فَأَنْذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ {١٤} |
14. Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely; |
| لَا يَصْلَاهَا إِلَّا الْأَشْقَى {١٥} |
15. None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones |
| الَّذِي كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ {١٦} |
16. Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs. |
| وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا الْأَتْقَى {١٧} |
17. But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it,- |
| الَّذِي يُؤْتِي مَالَهُ يَتَزَكَّىٰ {١٨} |
18. Those who spend their wealth for increase in self-purification, |
| وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِنْدَهُ مِنْ نِعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰ {١٩} |
19. And have in their minds no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return, |
| إِلَّا ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ الْأَعْلَىٰ {٢٠} |
20. But only the desire to seek for the Countenance of their Lord Most High; |
| وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ {٢١} |
21. And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction. |
