Al-Layl

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ

wa-al-layli idhā yaghshā

By the night when it covers

وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ

wal-nahāri idhā tajallā

And [by] the day when it appears

وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ

wamā khalaqa l-dhakara wal-unthā

And [by] He who created the male and female,

إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ

inna saʿyakum lashattā

Indeed, your efforts are diverse.

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ

fa-ammā man aʿṭā wa-ittaqā

As for he who gives and fears Allāh

وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ

waṣaddaqa bil-ḥus'nā

And believes in the best [reward],

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ

fasanuyassiruhu lil'yus'rā

We will ease him toward ease.

وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ

wa-ammā man bakhila wa-is'taghnā

But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need

وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ

wakadhaba bil-ḥus'nā

And denies the best [reward],

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ

fasanuyassiruhu lil'ʿus'rā

We will ease him toward difficulty.

وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ

wamā yugh'nī ʿanhu māluhu idhā taraddā

And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?

إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ

inna ʿalaynā lalhudā

Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.

وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْـَٔاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ

wa-inna lanā lalākhirata wal-ūlā

And indeed, to us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].

فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ

fa-andhartukum nāran talaẓẓā

So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.

لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى

lā yaṣlāhā illā l-ashqā

None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one

ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ

alladhī kadhaba watawallā

Who had denied and turned away.

وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى

wasayujannabuhā l-atqā

But the righteous one will avoid it

ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ

alladhī yu'tī mālahu yatazakkā

[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself

وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰٓ

wamā li-aḥadin ʿindahu min niʿ'matin tuj'zā

And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded

إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ

illā ib'tighāa wajhi rabbihi l-aʿlā

But only seeking the face [i.e., acceptance] of his Lord, Most High.

وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ

walasawfa yarḍā

And he is going to be satisfied.
