By the night when it covers

Wallayli itha yaghsha

And [by] the day when it appears

Wannahari itha tajalla

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

Wama khalaqa aththakarawal-ontha

Indeed, your efforts are diverse.

Inna saAAyakum lashatta

As for he who gives and fears Allāh

Faamma man aAAta wattaqa

And believes in the best [reward],

Wasaddaqa bilhusna

We will ease him toward ease.

Fasanuyassiruhu lilyusra

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

Waamma man bakhila wastaghna

And denies the best [reward],

Wakaththaba bilhusna

We will ease him toward difficulty.

Fasanuyassiruhu lilAAusra

And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?

Wama yughnee AAanhu maluhu ithataradda

Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.

Inna AAalayna lalhuda

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

Wa-inna lana lal-akhirata wal-oola

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

Faanthartukum naran talaththa

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

La yaslaha illaal-ashqa

Who had denied and turned away.

Allathee kaththaba watawalla

But the righteous one will avoid it

Wasayujannabuha al-atqa

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

Allathee yu/tee malahuyatazakka

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

Wama li-ahadin AAindahu minniAAmatin tujza

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

Illa ibtighaa wajhi rabbihial-aAAla

And he is going to be satisfied.
