Al-Layl — The Night

وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذَا يَغۡشَىٰ

Waallayli itha yaghsha

By the night when it covers

وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ

Waalnnahari itha tajalla

And [by] the day when it appears

وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلۡأُنثَىٰٓ

Wama khalaqa alththakara waalontha

And [by] He who created the male and female

إِنَّ سَعۡيَكُمۡ لَشَتَّىٰ

Inna saAAyakum lashatta

Indeed, your efforts are diverse

فَأَمَّا مَنۡ أَعۡطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ

Faamma man aAAta waittaqa

As for he who gives and fears Allah

وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ

Wasaddaqa bialhusna

And believes in the best [reward]

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلۡيُسۡرَىٰ

Fasanuyassiruhu lilyusra

We will ease him toward ease

وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسۡتَغۡنَىٰ

Waamma man bakhila waistaghna

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

وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ

Wakaththaba bialhusna

And denies the best [reward]

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلۡعُسۡرَىٰ

Fasanuyassiruhu lilAAusra

We will ease him toward difficulty

وَمَا يُغۡنِي عَنۡهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ

Wama yughnee AAanhu maluhu itha taradda

And what will his wealth avail him when he falls

إِنَّ عَلَيۡنَا لَلۡهُدَىٰ

Inna AAalayna lalhuda

Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance

وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلۡأٓخِرَةَ وَٱلۡأُولَىٰ

Wainna lana lalakhirata waaloola

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

فَأَنذَرۡتُكُمۡ نَارٗا تَلَظَّىٰ

Faanthartukum naran talaththa

So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing

لَا يَصۡلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلۡأَشۡقَى

La yaslaha illa alashqa

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

ٱلَّذِي كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ

Allathee kaththaba watawalla

Who had denied and turned away

وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلۡأَتۡقَى

Wasayujannabuha alatqa

But the righteous one will avoid it

ٱلَّذِي يُؤۡتِي مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ

Allathee yutee malahu yatazakka

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

وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعۡمَةٖ تُجۡزَىٰٓ

Wama liahadin AAindahu min niAAmatin tujza

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

إِلَّا ٱبۡتِغَآءَ وَجۡهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ

Illa ibtighaa wajhi rabbihi alaAAla

But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High

وَلَسَوۡفَ يَرۡضَىٰ

Walasawfa yarda

And he is going to be satisfied
