Al-Layl

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

1. وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ1

   By the night when it covers

2. وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ2

   And [by] the day when it appears

3. وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ3

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

4. إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ4

   Indeed, your efforts are diverse.

5. فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ5

   As for he who gives and fears Allāh

6. وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ6

   And believes in the best [reward].

7. فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ7

   We will ease him toward ease.

8. وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ8

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

9. وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ9

   And denies the best [reward],

10. فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ10

    We will ease him toward difficulty.

11. وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ11

    And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?

12. إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ12

    Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.

13. وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْـَٔاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ13

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

14. فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ14

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

15. لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى15

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

16. ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ16

    Who had denied and turned away.

17. وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى17

    But the righteous one will avoid it –

18. ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ18

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

19. وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰٓ19

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

20. إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ20

    But only seeking the face [i.e., acceptance] of his Lord, Most High.

21. وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ21

    And he is going to be satisfied.
