1 I CALL TO witness the dawn وَالْفَجْرِ
2 And the Ten Nights, وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ
3 The multiple and the one, وَالشَّفْعِ وَالْوَتْرِ
4 The night as it advances, وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ
5 Is there not an evidence in this for those who have sense? هَلْ فِي ذَلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِّذِي حِجْرٍ
6 Have you not seen what your Lord did to the 'Ad أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ
7 Of Eram with lofty pillars (erected as signposts in the desert), إِرَمَ ذَاتِ الْعِمَادِ
8 The like of whom were never created in the realm; الَّتِي لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِي الْبِلَادِ
9 And with Thamud who carved rocks in the valley; وَثَمُودَ الَّذِينَ جَابُوا الصَّخْرَ بِالْوَادِ
10 And the mighty Pharaoh وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِي الْأَوْتَادِ
11 Who terrorised the region, الَّذِينَ طَغَوْا فِي الْبِلَادِ
12 And multiplied corruption. فَأَكْثَرُوا فِيهَا الْفَسَادَ
13 So your Lord poured a scourge of punishment over them. فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ
14 Your Lord is certainly in wait. إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِالْمِرْصَادِ
15 As for man, whenever his Lord tries him and then is gracious and provides good things for him, he says: "My Lord has been gracious to me." فَأَمَّا الْإِنسَانُ إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ رَبُّهُ فَأَكْرَمَهُ وَنَعَّمَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَكْرَمَنِ
16 But when He tries him by restraining his means, he says: "My Lord despises me." وَأَمَّا إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَهَانَنِ
17 No. In fact you are not generous to the orphans, كَلَّا بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ الْيَتِيمَ
18 Nor do you urge one another to feed the poor, وَلَا تَحَاضُّونَ عَلَى طَعَامِ الْمِسْكِينِ
19 And you devour (others') inheritance greedily, وَتَأْكُلُونَ التُّرَاثَ أَكْلًا لَّمًّا
20 And love wealth with all your heart. وَتُحِبُّونَ الْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا
21 Surely when We pound the earth to powder grounded, pounded to dust, كَلَّا إِذَا دُكَّتِ الْأَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا
22 And comes your Lord, and angels row on row, وَجَاء رَبُّكَ وَالْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا
23 And Hell is brought near, that day will man remember, but of what avail will then remembering be? وَجِيءَ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِجَهَنَّمَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْإِنسَانُ وَأَنَّى لَهُ الذِّكْرَى
24 He will say: "Alas the woe! Would that I had sent ahead something in my life." يَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِي
25 None can punish as He will punish on that day, فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُ أَحَدٌ
26 And none can bind as He will bind. وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُ أَحَدٌ
27 O you tranquil soul, يَا أَيَّتُهَا النَّفْسُ الْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ
28 Return to your Lord, well-pleased and well-pleasing Him. ارْجِعِي إِلَى رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرْضِيَّةً
29 "Enter then among My votaries, فَادْخُلِي فِي عِبَادِي
30 Enter then My garden." وَادْخُلِي جَنَّتِي
