O you who wraps himself [in clothing],

Arise [to pray] the night, except for a little -

Nisfahooo awinqus minhu qaleelaa
Half of it - or subtract from it a little

Aw zid 'alaihi wa rattilil Qur'aana tarteela

رَّبُّٱلْمَشْرِقِوَٱلْمَغْرِبِلَآإِلَـٰهَإِلَّاهُوَفَٱتَّخِذْهُوَكِيلًۭا٩
Rabbul mashriqi wal maghriibi laaa ilaaha illaa Huwa fattakhizhu wakeelaa
[He is] the Lord of the East and the West; there is no deity except Him, so take Him as Disposer of [your] affairs.

Wa ta'aaman zaa ghussa tinw wa'azaaban aleemaa
And food that chokes and a painful punishment -
يَوْمَتَرْجُفُٱلْأَرْضُوَٱلْجِبَالُوَكَانَتِٱلْجِبَالُكَثِيبًۭامَّهِيلًا١٤
Yawma tarjuful ardu waljibaalu wa kaanatil jibaalu kaseebam maheelaa
On the Day the earth and the mountains will convulse and the mountains will become a heap of sand pouring down.
إِنَّآأَرْسَلْنَآإِلَيْكُمْرَسُولًۭاشَـٰهِدًاعَلَيْكُمْكَمَآأَرْسَلْنَآإِلَىٰفِرْعَوْنَرَسُولًۭا١٥
Innaa arsalnaaa ilaikum rasoolan shahidan 'alikum kamaaa arsalnaaa ilaa Fir'awna Rasoolna
Indeed, We have sent to you a Messenger as a witness upon you just as We sent to Pharaoh a messenger.
فَعَصَىٰفِرْعَوْنُٱلرَّسُولَفَأَخَذْنَـٰهُأَخْذًۭاوَبِيلًۭا١٦
Fa'asaa Fir'awnur Rasoola fa akhaznaahu akhzanw wabeelaa
But Pharaoh disobeyed the messenger, so We seized him with a ruinous seizure.
فَكَيْفَتَتَّقُونَإِنكَفَرْتُمْيَوْمًۭايَجْعَلُٱلْوِلْدَٰنَشِيبًا١٧
Fakaifa tattaqoona in kafartum yawmany yaj'alul wildaana sheeba
Then how can you fear, if you disbelieve, a Day that will make the children white- haired?
ٱلسَّمَآءُمُنفَطِرٌۢبِهِۦ ۚكَانَوَعْدُهُۥمَفْعُولًا١٨
Assamaaa'u munfatirum bih; kaana wa'duhoo maf'oola
The heaven will break apart therefrom; ever is His promise fulfilled.

Inna haazihee tazkiratun fa man shaaa'at takhaza ilaa Rabbihee sabeelaa
Indeed, this is a reminder, so whoever wills may take to his Lord a way.

Indeed, your Lord knows, [O Muhammad], that you stand [in prayer] almost two thirds of the night or half of it or a third of it, and [so do] a group of those with you. And Allah determines [the extent of] the night and the day. He has known that you [Muslims] will not be able to do it and has turned to you in forgiveness, so recite what is easy [for you] of the Qur'an. He has known that there will be among you those who are ill and others traveling throughout the land seeking [something] of the bounty of Allah and others fighting for the cause of Allah. So recite what is easy from it and establish prayer and give zakah and loan Allah a goodly loan. And whatever good you put forward for yourselves - you will find it with Allah. It is better and greater in reward. And seek forgiveness of Allah. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
