وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ

Waalnnahari itha tajalla

By the Day as it appears in glory;

وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلۡأُنثَىٰٓ

Wama khalaqa alththakara waalontha

By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female;-

إِنَّ سَعۡيَكُمۡ لَشَتَّىٰ

Inna saAAyakum lashatta

Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse.

فَأَمَّا مَنۡ أَعۡطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ

Faamma man aAAta waittaqa

So he who gives (in charity) and fears (Allah),

وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ

Wasaddaqa bialhusna

And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best,-

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلۡيُسۡرَىٰ

Fasanuyassiruhu lilyusra

We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss.

وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسۡتَغۡنَىٰ

Waamma man bakhila waistaghna

But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient,

وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ

Wakaththaba bialhusna

And gives the lie to the best,-

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلۡعُسۡرَىٰ

Fasanuyassiruhu lilAAusra

We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery;

وَمَا يُغۡنِي عَنۡهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ

Wama yughnee AAanhu maluhu itha taradda

Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit).

إِنَّ عَلَيۡنَا لَلۡهُدَىٰ

Inna AAalayna lalhuda

Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide,

وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلۡأٓخِرَةَ وَٱلۡأُولَىٰ

Wainna lana lalakhirata waaloola

And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning.

فَأَنذَرۡتُكُمۡ نَارٗا تَلَظَّىٰ

Faanthartukum naran talaththa

Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely;

لَا يَصۡلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلۡأَشۡقَى

La yaslaha illa alashqa

None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones

ٱلَّذِي كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ

Allathee kaththaba watawalla

Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs.
