# Translation Ayah
1 I swear by the night when it draws a veil, وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَى
2 And the day when it shines in brightness, وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّى
3 And the creating of the male and the female, وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَى
4 Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (ends). إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّى
5 Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil), فَأَمَّا مَن أَعْطَى وَاتَّقَى
6 And accepts the best, وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَى
7 We will facilitate for him the easy end. فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَى
8 And as for him who is niggardly and considers himself free from need (of Allah), وَأَمَّا مَن بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَى
9 And rejects the best, وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَى
10 We will facilitate for him the difficult end. فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَى
11 And his wealth will not avail him when he perishes. وَمَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُ مَالُهُ إِذَا تَرَدَّى
12 Surely Ours is it to show the way, إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَى
13 And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former. وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْآخِرَةَ وَالْأُولَى
14 Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames: فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّى
15 None shall enter it but the most unhappy, لَا يَصْلَاهَا إِلَّا الْأَشْقَى
16 Who gives the lie (to the truth) and turns (his) back. الَّذِي كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّى
17 And away from it shall be kept the one who guards most (against evil), وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا الْأَتْقَى
18 Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself الَّذِي يُؤْتِي مَالَهُ يَتَزَكَّى
19 And no one has with him any boon for which he should be rewarded, وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَى
20 Except the seeking of the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High. إِلَّا ابْتِغَاء وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ الْأَعْلَى
21 And he shall soon be well-pleased. وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَى
