بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِیمِ وَٱلَّیۡلِ إِذَا یَغۡشَىٰ

By the night enshrouding

وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ

and the day in splendour

وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلۡأُنثَىٰۤ

and That which created the male and the female,

إِنَّ سَعۡیَكُمۡ لَشَتَّىٰ

surely your striving is to diverse ends.

فَأَمَّا مَنۡ أَعۡطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ

As for him who gives and is godfearing

وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ

and confirms the reward most fair,

فَسَنُیَسِّرُهُۥ لِلۡیُسۡرَىٰ

We shall surely ease him to the Easing.

وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسۡتَغۡنَىٰ

But as for him who is a miser, and self-sufficient,

وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ

and cries lies to the reward most fair,

فَسَنُیَسِّرُهُۥ لِلۡعُسۡرَىٰ

We shall surely ease him to the Hardship;

وَمَا یُغۡنِی عَنۡهُ مَالُهُۥۤ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰۤ

his wealth shall not avail him when he perishes.

إِنَّ عَلَیۡنَا لَلۡهُدَىٰ

Surely upon Us rests the guidance,

وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلۡـَٔاخِرَةَ وَٱلۡأُولَىٰ

and to Us belong the Last and the First.

فَأَنذَرۡتُكُمۡ نَارࣰا تَلَظَّىٰ

Now I have warned you of a Fire that flames,

لَا یَصۡلَىٰهَاۤ إِلَّا ٱلۡأَشۡقَى

whereat none but the most wretched shall be roasted,

ٱلَّذِی كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ

even he who cried lies, and turned away;

وَسَیُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلۡأَتۡقَى

and from which the most godfearing shall be removed,

ٱلَّذِی یُؤۡتِی مَالَهُۥ یَتَزَكَّىٰ

even he who gives his wealth. to purify himself

وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعۡمَةࣲ تُجۡزَىٰۤ

and confers no favour on any man for recompense,

إِلَّا ٱبۡتِغَاۤءَ وَجۡهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ

only seeking the Face of his Lord the Most High;

وَلَسَوۡفَ یَرۡضَىٰ

and he shall surely be satisfied.
