بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
By the night, when it envelops,
وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
and by the day when it unveils.
وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنْثَىٰ
And by Who created the male and female,
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
your striving is indeed to different ends!
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَاتَّقَىٰ
For him that gives and fears (Allah)
وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ
and believes in the finest,
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
We shall surely ease him to the Path of Easing;
وَأَمَّا مَنْ بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَىٰ
but for him that is a miser, and sufficed,
وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ
and he belied the finest
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ
We shall surely ease for him the Path of Hardship (the Fire).
وَمَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُ مَالُهُ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰ
When he falls (into Hell), his wealth will not help him.
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ
Indeed, Guidance is Ours,
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْآخِرَةَ وَالْأُولَىٰ
and to Us belong the Last and the First.
فَأَنْذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ
I have now warned you of the Blazing Fire,
لَا يَصْلَاهَا إِلَّا الْأَشْقَى
in which none shall be roasted except the most wretched sinner,
الَّذِي كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
who belied and turned away,
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا الْأَتْقَى
and from which the cautious shall be distanced.
الَّذِي يُؤْتِي مَالَهُ يَتَزَكَّىٰ
He who gives his wealth to be purified,
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِنْدَهُ مِنْ نِعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰ
and confers no favor upon anyone for recompense
إِلَّا ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ الْأَعْلَىٰ
seeking only the Face of his Lord, the Most High,
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
surely, he shall be satisfied.
