Al-Layl

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ

By the night enshrouding

وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ

And the day resplendent

وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ

And Him Who hath created male and female

إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ

Lo! your effort is dispersed (toward divers ends)

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ

As for him who giveth and is dutiful (toward Allah)

وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ

And believeth in goodness

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ

Surely We will ease his way unto the state of ease

وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ

But as for him who hoardeth and deemeth himself independent

وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ

And disbelieveth in goodness

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ

Surely We will ease his way unto adversity

وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ

His riches will not save him when he perisheth

إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ

Lo! Ours it is (to give) the guidance

وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْـَٔاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ

And lo! unto Us belong the latter portion and the former

فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ

Therefor have I warned you of the flaming Fire

لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى

Which only the most wretched must endure

ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ

He who denieth and turneth away

وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى

Far removed from it will be the righteous

ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ

Who giveth his wealth that he may grow (in goodness)

وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰٓ

And none hath with him any favour for reward

إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ

Except as seeking (to fulfil) the purpose of his Lord Most High

وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ

He verily will be content
