# Translation Ayah
1 By the night enshrouding وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَى
2 And the day resplendent وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّى
3 And Him Who hath created male and female, وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَى
4 Lo! your effort is dispersed (toward divers ends). إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّى
5 As for him who giveth and is dutiful (toward Allah) فَأَمَّا مَن أَعْطَى وَاتَّقَى
6 And believeth in goodness; وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَى
7 Surely We will ease his way unto the state of ease. فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَى
8 But as for him who hoardeth and deemeth himself independent, وَأَمَّا مَن بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَى
9 And disbelieveth in goodness; وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَى
10 Surely We will ease his way unto adversity. فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَى
11 His riches will not save him when he perisheth. وَمَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُ مَالُهُ إِذَا تَرَدَّى
12 Lo! Ours it is (to give) the guidance إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَى
13 And lo! unto Us belong the latter portion and the former. وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْآخِرَةَ وَالْأُولَى
14 Therefor have I warned you of the flaming Fire فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّى
15 Which only the most wretched must endure, لَا يَصْلَاهَا إِلَّا الْأَشْقَى
16 He who denieth and turneth away. الَّذِي كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّى
17 Far removed from it will be the righteous وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا الْأَتْقَى
18 Who giveth his wealth that he may grow (in goodness). الَّذِي يُؤْتِي مَالَهُ يَتَزَكَّى
19 And none hath with him any favour for reward, وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَى
20 Except as seeking (to fulfil) the purpose of his Lord Most High. إِلَّا ابْتِغَاء وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ الْأَعْلَى
21 He verily will be content. وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَى
