الليل

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

1. وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ ﴿1﴾

   By the night when it covers

2. وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ ﴿2﴾

   And [by] the day when it appears

3. وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنْثَىٰ ﴿3﴾

   And [by] He who created the male and female,

4. إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ ﴿4﴾

   Indeed, your efforts are diverse.

5. فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَاتَّقَىٰ ﴿5﴾

   As for he who gives and fears Allāh

6. وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ ﴿6﴾

   And believes in the best [reward],

7. فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ ﴿7﴾

   We will ease him toward ease.

8. وَأَمَّا مَنْ بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَىٰ ﴿8﴾

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

9. وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ ﴿9﴾

   And denies the best [reward],

10. فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ ﴿10﴾

    We will ease him toward difficulty.

11. وَمَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُ مَالُهُ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰ ﴿11﴾

    And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?

12. إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ ﴿12﴾

    Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.

13. وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْآخِرَةَ وَالْأُولَىٰ ﴿13﴾

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

14. فَأَنْذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ ﴿14﴾

    So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.

15. لَا يَصْلَاهَا إِلَّا الْأَشْقَى ﴿15﴾

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

16. الَّذِي كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ﴿16﴾

    Who had denied and turned away.

17. وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا الْأَتْقَى ﴿17﴾

    But the righteous one will avoid it

18. الَّذِي يُؤْتِي مَالَهُ يَتَزَكَّىٰ ﴿18﴾

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

19. وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِنْدَهُ مِنْ نِعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰ ﴿19﴾

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

20. إِلَّا ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ الْأَعْلَىٰ ﴿20﴾

    But only seeking the face [i.e., acceptance] of his Lord, Most High.

21. وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ ﴿21﴾

    And he is going to be satisfied.
