{بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ}

(1) By the night when it covers[1937]

{وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ}

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

{وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنْثَىٰ}

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

{إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ}

(4) Indeed, your efforts are diverse.

{فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَاتَّقَىٰ}

(5) As for he who gives and fears Allāh

{وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ}

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

{فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ}

(7) We will ease him toward ease.

{وَأَمَّا مَنْ بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَىٰ}

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

{وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ}

(9) And denies the best [reward],

{فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ}

(10) We will ease him toward difficulty.

{وَمَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُ مَالُهُ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰ}

(11) And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?[1938]

{إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ}

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

{وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْآخِرَةَ وَالْأُولَىٰ}

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

{فَأَنْذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ}

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

{لَا يَصْلَاهَا إِلَّا الْأَشْقَى}

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

{الَّذِي كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ}

(16) Who had denied and turned away.

{وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا الْأَتْقَى}

(17) But the righteous one will avoid it

{الَّذِي يُؤْتِي مَالَهُ يَتَزَكَّىٰ}

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

{وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِنْدَهُ مِنْ نِعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰ}

(19) And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded[1939]

{إِلَّا ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ الْأَعْلَىٰ}

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

{وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ}

(21) And he is going to be satisfied.
