Al-Lail

Wallayli itha yaghsha

By the night when it covers

Wannahari itha tajalla

And [by] the day when it appears

Wama khalaqa aththakarawal-ontha

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

Inna saAAyakum lashatta

Indeed, your efforts are diverse.

Faamma man aAAta wattaqa

As for he who gives and fears Allāh

Wasaddaqa bilhusna

And believes in the best [reward],

Fasanuyassiruhu lilyusra

We will ease him toward ease.

Waamma man bakhila wastaghna

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

Wakaththaba bilhusna

And denies the best [reward],

Fasanuyassiruhu lilAAusra

We will ease him toward difficulty.

Wama yughnee AAanhu maluhu ithataradda

And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?

Inna AAalayna lalhuda

Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.

Wa-inna lana lal-akhirata wal-oola

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

Faanthartukum naran talaththa

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

La yaslaha illaal-ashqa

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

Allathee kaththaba watawalla

Who had denied and turned away.

Wasayujannabuha al-atqa

But the righteous one will avoid it

Allathee yu/tee malahuyatazakka

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

Wama li-ahadin AAindahu minniAAmatin tujza

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

Illa ibtighaa wajhi rabbihial-aAAla

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

Walasawfa yarda

And he is going to be satisfied.
