# Translation Ayah
1 By the Dawn وَالْفَجْرِ
2 And ten nights, وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ
3 And the Even and the Odd, وَالشَّفْعِ وَالْوَتْرِ
4 And the night when it departeth, وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ
5 There surely is an oath for thinking man. هَلْ فِي ذَلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِّذِي حِجْرٍ
6 Dost thou not consider how thy Lord dealt with (the tribe of) A´ad, أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ
7 With many-columned Iram, إِرَمَ ذَاتِ الْعِمَادِ
8 The like of which was not created in the lands; الَّتِي لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِي الْبِلَادِ
9 And with (the tribe of) Thamud, who clove the rocks in the valley; وَثَمُودَ الَّذِينَ جَابُوا الصَّخْرَ بِالْوَادِ
10 And with Pharaoh, firm of might, وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِي الْأَوْتَادِ
11 Who (all) were rebellious (to Allah) in these lands, الَّذِينَ طَغَوْا فِي الْبِلَادِ
12 And multiplied iniquity therein? فَأَكْثَرُوا فِيهَا الْفَسَادَ
13 Therefore thy Lord poured on them the disaster of His punishment. فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ
14 Lo! thy Lord is ever watchful. إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِالْمِرْصَادِ
15 As for man, whenever his Lord trieth him by honouring him, and is gracious unto him, he saith: My Lord honoureth me. فَأَمَّا الْإِنسَانُ إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ رَبُّهُ فَأَكْرَمَهُ وَنَعَّمَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَكْرَمَنِ
16 But whenever He trieth him by straitening his means of life, he saith: My Lord despiseth me. وَأَمَّا إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَهَانَنِ
17 Nay, but ye (for your part) honour not the orphan كَلَّا بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ الْيَتِيمَ
18 And urge not on the feeding of the poor. وَلَا تَحَاضُّونَ عَلَى طَعَامِ الْمِسْكِينِ
19 And ye devour heritages with devouring greed. وَتَأْكُلُونَ التُّرَاثَ أَكْلًا لَّمًّا
20 And love wealth with abounding love. وَتُحِبُّونَ الْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا
21 Nay, but when the earth is ground to atoms, grinding, grinding, كَلَّا إِذَا دُكَّتِ الْأَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا
22 And thy Lord shall come with angels, rank on rank, وَجَاء رَبُّكَ وَالْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا
23 And hell is brought near that day; on that day man will remember, but how will the remembrance (then avail him)? وَجِيءَ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِجَهَنَّمَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْإِنسَانُ وَأَنَّى لَهُ الذِّكْرَى
24 He will say: Ah, would that I had sent before me (some provision) for my life! يَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِي
25 None punisheth as He will punish on that day! فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُ أَحَدٌ
26 None bindeth as He then will bind. وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُ أَحَدٌ
27 But ah! thou soul at peace! يَا أَيَّتُهَا النَّفْسُ الْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ
28 Return unto thy Lord, content in His good pleasure! ارْجِعِي إِلَى رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرْضِيَّةً
29 Enter thou among My bondmen! فَادْخُلِي فِي عِبَادِي
30 Enter thou My Garden! وَادْخُلِي جَنَّتِي
