بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِیمِ وَٱلۡفَجۡرِ
By the dawn
89:2
وَلَیَالٍ عَشۡرࣲ
and ten nights,
89:3
وَٱلشَّفۡعِ وَٱلۡوَتۡرِ
by the even and the odd,
89:4
وَٱلَّیۡلِ إِذَا یَسۡرِ
by the night when it journeys on!
89:5
هَلۡ فِی ذَ ٰلِكَ قَسَمࣱ لِّذِی حِجۡرٍ
Is there in that an oath for a mindful man?
89:6
أَلَمۡ تَرَ كَیۡفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ
Hast thou not seen how thy Lord did with Ad,
89:7
إِرَمَ ذَاتِ ٱلۡعِمَادِ
Iram of the pillars,
89:8
ٱلَّتِی لَمۡ یُخۡلَقۡ مِثۡلُهَا فِی ٱلۡبِلَـٰدِ
the like of which was never created in the land,
89:9
وَثَمُودَ ٱلَّذِینَ جَابُوا۟ ٱلصَّخۡرَ بِٱلۡوَادِ
and Thamood, who hollowed the rocks in the valley,
89:10
وَفِرۡعَوۡنَ ذِی ٱلۡأَوۡتَادِ
and Pharaoh, he of the tent-pegs,
89:11
ٱلَّذِینَ طَغَوۡا۟ فِی ٱلۡبِلَـٰدِ
who all were insolent in the land
89:12
فَأَكۡثَرُوا۟ فِیهَا ٱلۡفَسَادَ
and worked much corruption therein?
89:13
فَصَبَّ عَلَیۡهِمۡ رَبُّكَ سَوۡطَ عَذَابٍ
Thy Lord unloosed on them a scourge of chastisement;
89:14
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِٱلۡمِرۡصَادِ
surely thy Lord is ever on the watch.
89:15
فَأَمَّا ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ إِذَا مَا ٱبۡتَلَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَأَكۡرَمَهُۥ وَنَعَّمَهُۥ فَیَقُولُ رَبِّیۤ أَكۡرَمَنِ
As for man, whenever his Lord tries him, and honours him, and blesses him, then he says, 'My Lord has honoured me.'
89:16
وَأَمَّاۤ إِذَا مَا ٱبۡتَلَىٰهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَیۡهِ رِزۡقَهُۥ فَیَقُولُ رَبِّیۤ أَهَـٰنَنِ
But when he tries him and stints for him his provision, then he says, 'My Lord has despised me.'
89:17
كَلَّاۖ بَل لَّا تُكۡرِمُونَ ٱلۡیَتِیمَ
No indeed; but you honour not the orphan,
89:18
وَلَا تَحَـٰۤضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلۡمِسۡكِینِ
and you urge not the feeding of the needy,
89:19
وَتَأۡكُلُونَ ٱلتُّرَاثَ أَكۡلࣰا لَّمࣰّا
and you devour the inheritance greedily,
89:20
وَتُحِبُّونَ ٱلۡمَالَ حُبࣰّا جَمࣰّا
and you love wealth with an ardent love
89:21
كَلَّاۤۖ إِذَا دُكَّتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ دَكࣰّا دَكࣰّا
No indeed! When the earth is ground to powder,
89:22
وَجَاۤءَ رَبُّكَ وَٱلۡمَلَكُ صَفࣰّا صَفࣰّا
and thy Lord comes, and the angels rank on rank,
89:23
وَجِا۟یۤءَ یَوۡمَىِٕذِۭ بِجَهَنَّمَۚ یَوۡمَىِٕذࣲ یَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰ
and Gehenna is brought out, upon that day man will remember; and how shall the Reminder be for him?
89:24
یَقُولُ یَـٰلَیۡتَنِی قَدَّمۡتُ لِحَیَاتِی
He shall say, 'O would that I had forwarded for my life!'
89:25
فَیَوۡمَىِٕذࣲ لَّا یُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُۥۤ أَحَدࣱ
Upon that day none shall chastise as He chastises,
89:26
وَلَا یُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُۥۤ أَحَدࣱ
none shall bind as He binds.
89:27
یَـٰۤأَیَّتُهَا ٱلنَّفۡسُ ٱلۡمُطۡمَىِٕنَّةُ
'O soul at peace,
89:28
ٱرۡجِعِیۤ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِیَةࣰ مَّرۡضِیَّةࣰ
return unto thy Lord, well-pleased, well-pleasing!

فَٱدۡخُلِی فِی عِبَـٰدِی
Enter thou among My servants!
89:30
وَٱدۡخُلِی جَنَّتِی
Enter thou My Paradise!'
