بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
وَٱلَّيْلِإِذَايَغْشَىٰ١
Wallaili izaa yaghshaa
By the night when it covers
وَٱلنَّهَارِإِذَاتَجَلَّىٰ٢
Wannahaari izaa tajalla
And [by] the day when it appears
وَمَاخَلَقَٱلذَّكَرَوَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ٣
Wa maa khalaqaz zakara wal unthaa
And [by] He who created the male and female,
إِنَّسَعْيَكُمْلَشَتَّىٰ٤
Inna sa'yakum lashattaa
Indeed, your efforts are diverse.
فَأَمَّامَنْأَعْطَىٰوَٱتَّقَىٰ٥
Fa ammaa man a'taa wattaqaa
As for he who gives and fears Allah
وَصَدَّقَبِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ٦
Wa saddaqa bil husnaa
And believes in the best [reward],
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥلِلْيُسْرَىٰ٧
Fasanu yassiruhoo lilyusraa
We will ease him toward ease.
وَأَمَّامَنۢبَخِلَوَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ٨
Wa ammaa mam bakhila wastaghnaa
But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need
وَكَذَّبَبِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ٩
Wa kazzaba bil husnaa
And denies the best [reward],
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥلِلْعُسْرَىٰ١٠
Fasanu yassiruhoo lil'usraa
We will ease him toward difficulty.
وَمَايُغْنِىعَنْهُمَالُهُۥٓإِذَاتَرَدَّىٰٓ١١
Wa maa yughnee 'anhu maaluhooo izaa taraddaa
And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?
إِنَّعَلَيْنَالَلْهُدَىٰ١٢
Inna 'alainaa lal hudaa
Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.
وَإِنَّلَنَالَلْـَٔاخِرَةَوَٱلْأُولَىٰ١٣
Wa inna lanaa lal Aakhirata wal oolaa
And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْنَارًۭاتَلَظَّىٰ١٤
Fa anzartukum naaran talazzaa
So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.
لَايَصْلَىٰهَآإِلَّاٱلْأَشْقَى١٥
Laa yaslaahaaa illal ashqaa
None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one.
ٱلَّذِىكَذَّبَوَتَوَلَّىٰ١٦
Allazee kazzaba wa tawallaa
Who had denied and turned away.
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَاٱلْأَتْقَى١٧
Wa sa yujannnabuhal atqaa
But the righteous one will avoid it -
ٱلَّذِىيُؤْتِىمَالَهُۥيَتَزَكَّىٰ١٨
Allazee yu'tee maalahoo yatazakkaa
[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself
وَمَالِأَحَدٍعِندَهُۥمِننِّعْمَةٍۢتُجْزَىٰٓ١٩
Wa maa li ahadin 'indahoo min ni'matin tujzaaa
And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded
إِلَّاٱبْتِغَآءَوَجْهِرَبِّهِٱلْأَعْلَىٰ٢٠
Illab tighaaa'a wajhi rabbihil a 'laa
But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High.
وَلَسَوْفَيَرْضَىٰ٢١
Wa lasawfa yardaa
And he is going to be satisfied.
