وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذَا يَغۡشَىٰ ﴿١﴾

Waallayli itha yaghsha

By the night when it covers

وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ ﴿٢﴾

Waalnnahari itha tajalla

And [by] the day when it appears

وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلۡأُنثَىٰٓ ﴿٣﴾

Wama khalaqa alththakara waalontha

And [by] He who created the male and female

إِنَّ سَعۡيَكُمۡ لَشَتَّىٰ ﴿٤﴾

Inna saʿyakum lashatta

Indeed, your efforts are diverse

فَأَمَّا مَنۡ أَعۡطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ ﴿٥﴾

Faamma man aʿta waittaqa

As for he who gives and fears Allah

وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ ﴿٦﴾

Wasaddaqa bialhusna

And believes in the best [reward]

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلۡيُسۡرَىٰ ﴿٧﴾

Fasanuyassiruhu lilyusra

We will ease him toward ease

وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسۡتَغۡنَىٰ ﴿٨﴾

Waamma man bakhila waistaghna

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

وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ ﴿٩﴾

Wakaththaba bialhusna

And denies the best [reward]

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلۡعُسۡرَىٰ ﴿١٠﴾

Fasanuyassiruhu lilʿusra

We will ease him toward difficulty

وَمَا يُغۡنِي عَنۡهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ ﴿١١﴾

Wama yughnee ʿanhu maluhu itha taradda

And what will his wealth avail him when he falls

إِنَّ عَلَيۡنَا لَلۡهُدَىٰ ﴿١٢﴾

Inna ʿalayna lalhuda

Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance

وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلۡأٓخِرَةَ وَٱلۡأُولَىٰ ﴿١٣﴾

Wainna lana lalakhirata waaloola

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

فَأَنذَرۡتُكُمۡ نَارٗا تَلَظَّىٰ ﴿١٤﴾

Faanthartukum naran talaththa

So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing

لَا يَصۡلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلۡأَشۡقَى ﴿١٥﴾

La yaslaha illa alashqa

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

ٱلَّذِي كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ﴿١٦﴾

Allathee kaththaba watawalla

Who had denied and turned away

وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلۡأَتۡقَى ﴿١٧﴾

Wasayujannabuha alatqa

But the righteous one will avoid it

ٱلَّذِي يُؤۡتِي مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ ﴿١٨﴾

Allathee yutee malahu yatazakka

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

وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعۡمَةٖ تُجۡزَىٰٓ ﴿١٩﴾

Wama liahadin ʿindahu min niʿmatin tujza

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

إِلَّا ٱبۡتِغَآءَ وَجۡهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ ﴿٢٠﴾

Illa ibtighaa wajhi rabbihi alaʿla

But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High

وَلَسَوۡفَ يَرۡضَىٰ ﴿٢١﴾

Walasawfa yarda

And he is going to be satisfied
