By the night enshrouding
Wallayli itha yaghsha
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
And the day resplendent
Wannahari itha tajalla
وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ
And Him Who hath created male and female,
Wama khalaqa aththakarawal-ontha
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
Lo! your effort is dispersed (toward divers ends).
Inna saAAyakum lashatta
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ
As for him who giveth and is dutiful (toward Allah)
Faamma man aAAta wattaqa
وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
And believeth in goodness;
Wasaddaqa bilhusna
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
Surely We will ease his way unto the state of ease.
Fasanuyassiruhu lilyusra
وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
But as for him who hoardeth and deemeth himself independent,
Waamma man bakhila wastaghna
وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
And disbelieveth in goodness;
Wakaththaba bilhusna
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ
Surely We will ease his way unto adversity.
Fasanuyassiruhu lilAAusra
وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ
His riches will not save him when he perisheth.
Wama yughnee AAanhu maluhu ithataradda
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ
Lo! Ours it is (to give) the guidance
Inna AAalayna lalhuda
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْـَٔاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ
And lo! unto Us belong the latter portion and the former.
Wa-inna lana lal-akhirata wal-oola
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ
Therefor have I warned you of the flaming Fire
Faanthartukum naran talaththa
لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى
Which only the most wretched must endure,
La yaslaha illaal-ashqa
ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
He who denieth and turneth away.
Allathee kaththaba watawalla
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى
Far removed from it will be the righteous
Wasayujannabuha al-atqa
ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ
Who giveth his wealth that he may grow (in goodness).
Allathee yu/tee malahuyatazakka
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰٓ
And none hath with him any favour for reward,
Wama li-ahadin AAindahu minniAAmatin tujza
إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
Except as seeking (to fulfil) the purpose of his Lord Most High.
Illa ibtighaa wajhi rabbihial-aAAla
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
He verily will be content.
