بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
By the night when it covers the day,
وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
by the day when it appears radiant,
وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنْثَىٰ
and by that (Power) which created the male and female,
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
you strive in various ways.
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَاتَّقَىٰ
We shall facilitate the path to bliss
وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ
for those who spend for the cause of God,
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
observe piety, and believe in receiving rewards from God.
وَأَمَّا مَنْ بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَىٰ
But for those who are niggardly, horde their wealth,
وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ
and have no faith in receiving any reward (from God).
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ
We shall facilitate the path to affliction
وَمَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُ مَالُهُ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰ
and their wealth will be of no benefit to them when they face destruction.
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ
Surely, in Our hands is guidance,
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْآخِرَةَ وَالْأُولَىٰ
and to Us belong the hereafter and the worldly life.
فَأَنْذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ
I have warned you about the fierce blazing fire
لَا يَصْلَاهَا إِلَّا الْأَشْقَى
in which no one will suffer forever
الَّذِي كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
except the wicked ones who have rejected the (Truth) and have turned away from it.
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا الْأَتْقَى
The pious ones who spend for the cause of God
الَّذِي يُؤْتِي مَالَهُ يَتَزَكَّىٰ
and purify themselves will be safe from this fire.
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِنْدَهُ مِنْ نِعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰ
They do not expect any reward
إِلَّا ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ الْأَعْلَىٰ
except the pleasure of their Lord, the Most High
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
and the reward (of their Lord) will certainly make them happy.
