Wallaili izaa yaghshaa

By the night when it covers

Wannahaari izaa tajalla

And [by] the day when it appears

Wa maa khalaqaz zakara wal unthaa

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

Inna sa'yakum lashattaa

Indeed, your efforts are diverse.

Fa ammaa man a'taa wattaqaa

As for he who gives and fears Allah

Wa saddaqa bil husnaa

And believes in the best [reward],

Fasanu yassiruhoo lilyusraa

We will ease him toward ease.

Wa ammaa man bakhila wastaghnaa

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

Wa kazzaba bil husnaa

And denies the best [reward],

Fasanu yassiruhoo lil'usraa

We will ease him toward difficulty.

Wa maa yughnee 'anhu maaluhooo izaa taraddaa

And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?

Inna 'alainaa lal hudaa

Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.

Wa inna lanaa lal Aakhirata wal oolaa

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

Fa anzartukum naaran talazzaa

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

Laa yaslaahaaa illal ashqaa

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

Allazee kazzaba wa tawallaa

Who had denied and turned away.

Wa sa yujannnabuhal atqaa

But the righteous one will avoid it

Allazee yu'tee maalahoo yatazakkaa

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

Wa maa li ahadin 'indahoo min ni'matin tujzaaa

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

Illab tighaaa'a wajhi rabbihil a 'laa

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

Wa lasawfa yardaa

And he is going to be satisfied.
