Al-Layl الليل

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ

bismillah ar-rahman ar-rahim wal-layl idha yaghsha

By the night when it covers

وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ

wal-nahar idha tajalla

And [by] the day when it appears

وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَىٰ

wa-ma khalaqa adh-dhakara wal-untha

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

إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ

inna sa'yakum la-shatta

Indeed, your efforts are diverse.

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَاتَّقَىٰ

fa-amma man a'ta wa-ttaqa

As for he who gives and fears Allah

وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ

wa-saddaqa bil-husna

And believes in the best [reward],

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ

fa-sanuyassiruhu lil-yusra

We will ease him toward ease.

وَأَمَّا مَن بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَىٰ

wa-amma man bakhila wa-staghna

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

وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ

wa-kadhdhaba bil-husna

And denies the best [reward],

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ

fa-sanuyassiruhu lil-'usra

We will ease him toward difficulty.

وَمَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُ مَالُهُ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰ

wa-ma yughni 'anhu maluhu idha taradda

And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?

إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ

inna 'alayna lalhuda

Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.

وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْآخِرَةَ وَالْأُولَىٰ

wa-inna lana lal-akhirah wal-ula

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

فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ

fa-anzartukum naran talazza

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

لَا يَصْلَاهَا إِلَّا الْأَشْقَى

la yaslaha illa al-ashqa

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

الَّذِي كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ

alladhi kadhdhaba wa-tawalla

Who had denied and turned away.

وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا الْأَتْقَى

wa-sayujannabuha al-atqa

But the righteous one will avoid it -

الَّذِي يُؤْتِي مَالَهُ يَتَزَكَّىٰ

alladhi yu'ti malahu yatazakka

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

وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰ

wa ma li-ahadin 'indahu min ni'matin tujza

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

إِلَّا ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ الْأَعْلَىٰ

illa ibtigha'a wajh rabbih al-a'la

But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High.

وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ

wa-la-sawfa yarda

And he is going to be satisfied.
