وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍۢ2
And [by] ten nights
Wa layaalin 'ashr
وَٱلشَّفْعِ وَٱلْوَتْرِ3
And [by] the even [number] and the odd
Wash shaf'i wal watr
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ4
And [by] the night when it passes,
Wallaili izaa yasr
هَلْ فِى ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٌۭ لِّذِى حِجْرٍ5
Is there [not] in [all] that an oath [sufficient] for one of perception?
Hal fee zaalika qasamul lizee hijr
أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ6
Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with 'Aad -
Alam tara kaifa fa'ala rabbuka bi'aad
إِرَمَ ذَاتِ ٱلْعِمَادِ7
[With] Iram - who had lofty pillars,
Iramaa zaatil 'imaad
ٱلَّتِى لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِى ٱلْبِلَٰدِ8
The likes of whom had never been created in the land?
Allatee lam yukhlaq misluhaa fil bilaad
وَثَمُودَ ٱلَّذِينَ جَابُوا۟ ٱلصَّخْرَ بِٱلْوَادِ9
And [with] Thamud, who carved out the rocks in the valley?
Wa samoodal lazeena jaabus sakhra bil waad
وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِى ٱلْأَوْتَادِ10
And [with] Pharaoh, owner of the stakes? -
Wa fir'awna zil awtaad
ٱلَّذِينَ طَغَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْبِلَٰدِ11
[All of] whom oppressed within the lands
Allazeena taghaw fil bilaad
فَأَكْثَرُوا۟ فِيهَا ٱلْفَسَادَ12
And increased therein the corruption.
Fa aksaroo feehal fasaad
فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ13
So your Lord poured upon them a scourge of punishment.
Fasabba 'alaihim Rabbuka sawta 'azaab
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِٱلْمِرْصَادِ14
Indeed, your Lord is in observation.
Inna Rabbaka labil mirsaad
فَأَمَّا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَأَكْرَمَهُۥ وَنَعَّمَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَكْرَمَنِ15
And as for man, when his Lord tries him and [thus] is generous to him and favors him, he says, "My Lord has honored me."
Fa ammal insaanu izaa mab talaahu Rabbuhoo fa akramahoo wa na' 'amahoo fa yaqoolu Rabbeee akraman
وَأَمَّآ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَهَٰنَنِ16
But when He tries him and restricts his provision, he says, "My Lord has humiliated me."
Wa ammaaa izaa mabtalaahu faqadara 'alaihi rizqahoo fa yaqoolu Rabbeee ahaanan
كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ ٱلْيَتِيمَ17
No! But you do not honor the orphan
Kalla bal laa tukrimooo nal yateem
وَلَا تَحَٰٓضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ18
And you do not encourage one another to feed the poor.
Wa laa tahaaaddoona 'alaata'aamil miskeen
وَتَأْكُلُونَ ٱلتُّرَاثَ أَكْلًۭا لَّمًّۭا19
And you consume inheritance, devouring [it] altogether,
Wa taakuloonat turaasa aklal lammaa
وَتُحِبُّونَ ٱلْمَالَ حُبًّۭا جَمًّۭا20
And you love wealth with immense love.
Wa tuhibboonal maala hubban jammaa
كَلَّآ إِذَا دُكَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ دَكًّۭا دَكًّۭا21
No! When the earth has been leveled - pounded and crushed -
Kallaaa izaaa dukkatil ardu dakkan dakka
وَجَآءَ رَبُّكَ وَٱلْمَلَكُ صَفًّۭا صَفًّۭا22
And your Lord has come and the angels, rank upon rank,
Wa jaaa'a Rabbuka wal malaku saffan saffaa
وَجِا۟ىٓءَ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِجَهَنَّمَ ۚ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ23
And brought [within view], that Day, is Hell - that Day, man will remember, but what good to him will be the remembrance?
Wa jeee'a yawma'izim bi jahannnam; Yawma 'iziny yatazakkarul insaanu wa annaa lahuz zikraa
يَقُولُ يَٰلَيْتَنِى قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِى24
He will say, "Oh, I wish I had sent ahead [some good] for my life."
Yaqoolu yaa laitanee qaddamtu lihayaatee
فَيَوْمَئِذٍۢ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌۭ25
So on that Day, none will punish [as severely] as His punishment,
Fa Yawma izil laa yu'azzibu 'azaabahooo ahad
وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌۭ26
And none will bind [as severely] as His binding [of the evildoers].
Wa laa yoosiqu wasaaqa hooo ahad
يَٰٓأَيَّتُهَا ٱلنَّفْسُ ٱلْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ27
[To the righteous it will be said], "O reassured soul,
Yaaa ayyatuhan nafsul mutma 'innah
ٱرْجِعِىٓ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةًۭ مَّرْضِيَّةًۭ28
Return to your Lord, well-pleased and pleasing [to Him],
Irji'eee ilaa Rabbiki raadiyatam mardiyyah
فَٱدْخُلِى فِى عِبَٰدِى29
And enter among My [righteous] servants
Fadkhulee fee 'ibaadee
وَٱدْخُلِى جَنَّتِى30
And enter My Paradise."
Wadkhulee jannatee
