92. Lejl · verses 8–21

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.

وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلۡأَتۡقَى

Wasayujannabuha alatqa

But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it,-

ٱلَّذِي يُؤۡتِي مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ

Allathee yutee malahu yatazakka

Those who spend their wealth for increase in self-purification,

وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعۡمَةٖ تُجۡزَىٰٓ

Wama liahadin AAindahu min niAAmatin tujza

And have in their minds no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return,

إِلَّا ٱبۡتِغَآءَ وَجۡهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ

Illa ibtighaa wajhi rabbihi alaAAla

But only the desire to seek for the Countenance of their Lord Most High;

وَلَسَوۡفَ يَرۡضَىٰ

Walasawfa yarda

And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction.
