Al-Lail

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ

By the night when it envelopeth,

وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ

By the day when it appeareth in glory,

وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنْثَىٰ

By Him Who hath created the male and the female,

إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ

Verily your endeavour is diverse.

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَاتَّقَىٰ

Then as for him who giveths and feareth Him.

وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ

And testifieth to the Good,

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ

Unto him therefore We shall indeed make easy the path to ease.

وَأَمَّا مَنْ بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَىٰ

And as for him who stinteth and is heedless,

وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ

And who belieth the Good,

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ

Unto him therefore We shall Indeed make easy the path to hardship.

وَمَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُ مَالُهُ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰ

And his substance will avail him not when he perisheth.

إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ

Verify on us is the guidance

وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْآخِرَةَ وَالْأُولَىٰ

And verify Ours is both the Hereafter and the life present.

فَأَنْذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ

Wherefore have warned you of Fire flaming,

لَا يَصْلَاهَا إِلَّا الْأَشْقَى

None shall roast therein but the most wretched,

الَّذِي كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ

Who belieth and turneth away.

وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا الْأَتْقَى

And avoid it shall the most pious,

الَّذِي يُؤْتِي مَالَهُ يَتَزَكَّىٰ

Who giveth away his substance that he may be cleansed,

وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِنْدَهُ مِنْ نِعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰ

And who hath no favour from anyone to recompense.

إِلَّا ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ الْأَعْلَىٰ

But only seeking the Countenance of his Lord the Most High.

وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ

And presently he shall become wellpleased.
