Surah Al-Lail
بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
وَالَّيْلِ اِذَا يَغْشٰىۙ١
Wal-laili iżā yagsyā.
[1]
By the night when it covers
وَالنَّهَارِ اِذَا تَجَلّٰىۙ٢
Wan-nahāri iżā tajallā.
[2]
And [by] the day when it appears
وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالْاُنْثٰىٓ ۙ٣
Wa mā khalaqaż-żakara wal-unṡā.
[3]
And [by] He who created the male and female,
اِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتّٰىۗ٤
Inna sa‘yakum lasyattā.
[4]
Indeed, your efforts are diverse.
فَاَمَّا مَنْ اَعْطٰى وَاتَّقٰىۙ٥
Fa ammā man a‘ṭā wattaqā.
[5]
As for he who gives and fears Allah
وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنٰىۙ٦
Wa ṣaddaqa bil-ḥusnā.
[6]
And believes in the best [reward],
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهٗ لِلْيُسْرٰىۗ٧
Fa sanuyassiruhū lil-yusrā.
[7]
We will ease him toward ease.
وَاَمَّا مَنْۢ بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنٰىۙ٨
Wa ammā man bakhila wastagnā.
[8]
But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need
وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنٰىۙ٩
Wa każżaba bil-ḥusnā.
[9]
And denies the best [reward],
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهٗ لِلْعُسْرٰىۗ١٠
Fa sanuyassiruhū lil-‘usrā.
[10]
We will ease him toward difficulty.
وَمَا يُغْنِيْ عَنْهُ مَالُهٗٓ اِذَا تَرَدّٰىٓۙ١١
Wa mā yugnī ‘anhu māluhū iżā taraddā.
[11]
And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?
اِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدٰىۖ١٢
Inna ‘alainā lal-hudā.
[12]
Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.
وَاِنَّ لَنَا لَلْاٰخِرَةَ وَالْاُوْلٰىۗ١٣
Wa inna lanā lal-ākhirata wal-ūlā.
[13]
And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].
فَاَنْذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظّٰىۚ١٤
Fa anżartukum nāran talaẓẓā.
[14]
So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.
لَا يَصْلٰىهَآ اِلَّا الْاَشْقَىۙ١٥
Lā yaṣlāhā illal-asyqā.
[15]
None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one.
الَّذِيْ كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلّٰىۗ١٦
Allażī każżaba wa tawallā.
[16]
Who had denied and turned away.
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا الْاَتْقَىۙ١٧
Wa sayujannabuhal-atqā.
[17]
But the righteous one will avoid it -
الَّذِيْ يُؤْتِيْ مَالَهٗ يَتَزَكّٰىۚ١٨
Allażī yu'tī mālahū yatazakkā.
[18]
[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself
وَمَا لِاَحَدٍ عِنْدَهٗ مِنْ نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزٰىٓۙ١٩
Wa mā li'aḥadin ‘indahū min ni‘matin tujzā.
[19]
And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded
اِلَّا ابْتِغَاۤءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ الْاَعْلٰىۚ٢٠
Illabtigā'a wajhi rabbihil-a‘lā.
[20]
But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High.
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضٰى ࣖ٢١
Wa lasaufa yarḍā.
[21]
And he is going to be satisfied.
