﷽
وَٱلْفَجْرِ
By the Dawn
Walfajr
وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ
And ten nights,
Walayalin AAashr
وَٱلشَّفْعِ وَٱلْوَتْرِ
And the Even and the Odd,
WashshafAAi walwatr
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ
And the night when it departeth,
Wallayli itha yasr
هَلْ فِى ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِّذِى حِجْرٍ
There surely is an oath for thinking man.
Hal fee thalika qasamun lithee hijr
أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ
Dost thou not consider how thy Lord dealt with (the tribe of) A'ad,
Alam tara kayfa faAAala rabbuka biAAad
إِرَمَ ذَاتِ ٱلْعِمَادِ
With many-columned Iram,
Irama thati alAAimad
ٱلَّتِى لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِى ٱلْبِلَـٰدِ
The like of which was not created in the lands;
Allatee lam yukhlaq mithluha fee albilad
وَثَمُودَ ٱلَّذِينَ جَابُوا۟ ٱلصَّخْرَ بِٱلْوَادِ
And with (the tribe of) Thamud, who clove the rocks in the valley;
Wathamooda allatheena jaboo assakhrabilwad
وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِى ٱلْأَوْتَادِ
And with Pharaoh, firm of might,
WafirAAawna thee al-awtad
ٱلَّذِينَ طَغَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْبِلَـٰدِ
Who (all) were rebellious (to Allah) in these lands,
Allatheena taghaw fee albilad
فَأَكْثَرُوا۟ فِيهَا ٱلْفَسَادَ
And multiplied iniquity therein?
Faaktharoo feeha alfasad
فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ
Therefore thy Lord poured on them the disaster of His punishment.
Fasabba AAalayhim rabbuka sawtaAAathab
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِٱلْمِرْصَادِ
Lo! thy Lord is ever watchful.
Inna rabbaka labilmirsad
فَأَمَّا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَأَكْرَمَهُۥ وَنَعَّمَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَكْرَمَنِ
As for man, whenever his Lord trieth him by honouring him, and is gracious unto him, he saith: My Lord honoureth me.
Faamma al-insanu itha maibtalahu rabbuhu faakramahu wanaAAAAamahu fayaqoolu rabbeeakraman
وَأَمَّآ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَهَـٰنَنِ
But whenever He trieth him by straitening his means of life, he saith: My Lord despiseth me.
Waamma itha ma ibtalahufaqadara AAalayhi rizqahu fayaqoolu rabbee ahanan
كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ ٱلْيَتِيمَ
Nay, but ye (for your part) honour not the orphan
Kalla bal la tukrimoonaalyateem
وَلَا تَحَـٰٓضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ
And urge not on the feeding of the poor.
Wala tahaddoona AAala taAAamialmiskeen
وَتَأْكُلُونَ ٱلتُّرَاثَ أَكْلًا لَّمًّا
And ye devour heritages with devouring greed.
Wata/kuloona atturatha aklanlamma
وَتُحِبُّونَ ٱلْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا
And love wealth with abounding love.
Watuhibboona almala hubbanjamma
كَلَّآ إِذَا دُكَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا
Nay, but when the earth is ground to atoms, grinding, grinding,
Kalla itha dukkati al-ardudakkan dakka
وَجَآءَ رَبُّكَ وَٱلْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا
And thy Lord shall come with angels, rank on rank,
Wajaa rabbuka walmalaku saffansaffa
وَجِا۟ىٓءَ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِجَهَنَّمَ ۚ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ
And hell is brought near that day; on that day man will remember, but how will the remembrance (then avail him)?
Wajee-a yawma-ithin bijahannamayawma-ithin yatathakkaru al-insanu waannalahu aththikra
يَقُولُ يَـٰلَيْتَنِى قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِى
He will say: Ah, would that I had sent before me (some provision) for my life!
Yaqoolu ya laytanee qaddamtu lihayatee
فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ
None punisheth as He will punish on that day!
Fayawma-ithin la yuAAaththibuAAathabahu ahad
وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ
None bindeth as He then will bind.
Wala yoothiqu wathaqahu ahad
يَـٰٓأَيَّتُهَا ٱلنَّفْسُ ٱلْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ
But ah! thou soul at peace!
Ya ayyatuha annafsualmutma-inna
ٱرْجِعِىٓ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرْضِيَّةً
Return unto thy Lord, content in His good pleasure!
IrjiAAee ila rabbiki radiyatanmardiyya
فَٱدْخُلِى فِى عِبَـٰدِى
Enter thou among My bondmen!
Fadkhulee fee AAibadee
وَٱدْخُلِى جَنَّتِى
Enter thou My Garden!
Wadkhulee jannatee
