وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ ﴿١﴾

By the night as it envelops.

وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ ﴿٢﴾

By the day as it appears.

وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ ﴿٣﴾

By Him Who created male and female.

إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ ﴿٤﴾

Certainly, your efforts and deeds are diverse.

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ ﴿٥﴾

As for him who gives and has Taqwa,

وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ ﴿٦﴾

And believes in Al-Husna.

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ ﴿٧﴾

We will make smooth for him the path of ease.

وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ ﴿٨﴾

But he who is greedy and thinks himself self-sufficient,

وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ ﴿٩﴾

And denies Al-Husna.

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ ﴿١٠﴾

We will make smooth for him the path to evil.

وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ ﴿١١﴾

And what will his wealth avail him when he goes down (in destruction)

إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ ﴿١٢﴾

Truly, on Us is (to give) guidance.

وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْءَاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ ﴿١٣﴾

And truly, unto Us (belong) the last (Hereafter) and the first (this world).

فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًۭا تَلَظَّىٰ ﴿١٤﴾

Therefore I have warned you of a Fire Talazza.

لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى ﴿١٥﴾

None shall enter it save the most wretched.

ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ﴿١٦﴾

Who denies and turns away.

وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى ﴿١٧﴾

And those with Taqwa will be far removed from it.

ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ ﴿١٨﴾

He who gives of his wealth for self-purification.

وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍۢ تُجْزَىٰٓ ﴿١٩﴾

And who has (in mind) no favor from anyone to be paid back.

إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ ﴿٢٠﴾

Except to seek the Face of his Lord, the Most High.

وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ ﴿٢١﴾

He, surely, will be pleased.
