Al-Lail

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِیمِ

In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful

وَالَّیْلِ إِذَا یَغْشَیٰ(1)

By the night when it covers(1)

وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّیٰ(2)

And [by] the day when it appears(2)

وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّکَرَ وَالْأُنثَیٰٓ(3)

And [by] He who created the male and female,(3)

إِنَّ سَعْیَکُمْ لَشَتَّیٰ(4)

Indeed, your efforts are diverse(4)

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَیٰ وَاتَّقَیٰ(5)

As for he who gives and fears Allah(5)

وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَیٰ(6)

And believes in the best [reward],(6)

فَسَنُیَسِّرُهُ لِلْیُسْرَیٰ(7)

We will ease him toward ease(7)

وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَیٰ(8)

But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need(8)

وَکَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَیٰ(9)

And denies the best [reward],(9)

فَسَنُیَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَیٰ(10)

We will ease him toward difficulty(10)

وَمَا یُغْنِی عَنْهُ مَالُهُ إِذَا تَرَدَّیٰٓ(11)

And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?(11)

إِنَّ عَلَیْنَا لَلْهُدَیٰ(12)

Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance(12)

وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْءَاخِرَةَ وَالْأُولَیٰ(13)

And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life](13)

فَأَنذَرْتُکُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّیٰ(14)

(14)So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing

لَا یَصْلَیٰهَآ إِلَّا الْأَشْقَی(15)

None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one(15)

الَّذِی کَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّیٰ(16)

Who had denied and turned away(16)

وَسَیُجَنَّبُهَا الْأَتْقَی(17)

But the righteous one will avoid it -(17)

الَّذِی یُؤْتِی مَالَهُ یَتَزَکَّیٰ(18)

[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself(18)

وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَیٰٓ(19)

And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded(19)

إِلَّا ابْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ الْأَعْلَیٰ(20)

But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High(20)

وَلَسَوْفَ یَرْضَیٰ(21)

And he is going to be satisfied(21)
