 |
| وَالْفَجْرِ {١} |
1. And the ten nights! |
| وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ {٢} |
2. And the even and the odd! |
| وَالشَّفْعِ وَالْوَتْرِ {٣} |
3. And the night when it departs! |
| وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ {٤} |
4. Truly in this is an oath for men of understanding. |
| هَلْ فِي ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِذِي حِجْرٍ {٥} |
5. Hast thou not considered how thy Lord dealt with ‘Ad, |
| أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ {٦} |
6. (Of) Iram, having lofty buildings, |
| إِرَمَ ذَاتِ الْعِمَادِ {٧} |
7. The like of which were not created in the land; |
| الَّتِي لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِي الْبِلَادِ {٨} |
8. And (with) Thamud, who hewed out rocks in the valley; |
| وَثَمُودَ الَّذِينَ جَابُوا الصَّخْرَ بِالْوَادِ {٩} |
9. And (with) Pharaoh, the lord of hosts, |
| وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِي الْأَوْتَادِ {١٠} |
10. Who exceeded limits in the cities, |
| الَّذِينَ طَغَوْا فِي الْبِلَادِ {١١} |
11. And made great mischief therein? |
| فَأَكْثَرُوا فِيهَا الْفَسَادَ {١٢} |
12. So thy Lord poured on them a portion of chastisement. |
| فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ {١٣} |
13. Surely thy Lord is Watchful; |
| إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِالْمِرْصَادِ {١٤} |
14. As for man, when his Lord tries him, then gives him honour and favours him, he says: My Lord honours me. |
| فَأَمَّا الْإِنْسَانُ إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ رَبُّهُ فَأَكْرَمَهُ وَنَعَّمَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَكْرَمَنِ {١٥} |
15. But when He tries him, then straitens to him his subsistence, he says: My Lord has disgraced me. |
| وَأَمَّا إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَهَانَنِ {١٦} |
16. Nay, but you honour not the orphan, |
| كَلَّا ۖ بَلْ لَا تُكْرِمُونَ الْيَتِيمَ {١٧} |
17. Nor do you urge one another to feed the poor, |
| وَلَا تَحَاضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ الْمِسْكِينِ {١٨} |
18. And you devour heritage, devouring all, |
| وَتَأْكُلُونَ التُّرَاثَ أَكْلًا لَمًّا {١٩} |
19. And you love wealth with exceeding love. |
| وَتُحِبُّونَ الْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا {٢٠} |
20. Nay, when the earth is made to crumble to pieces, |
| كَلَّا إِذَا دُكَّتِ الْأَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا {٢١} |
21. And thy Lord comes with the angels, ranks on ranks; |
| وَجَاءَ رَبُّكَ وَالْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا {٢٢} |
22. And hell is made to appear that day. On that day man will be mindful, and of what use will being mindful be then? |
| وَجِيءَ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِجَهَنَّمَ ۚ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْإِنْسَانُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ الذِّكْرَىٰ {٢٣} |
23. He will say: O would that I had sent before for (this) my life! |
| يَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِي {٢٤} |
24. But none can punish as He will punish on that day. |
| فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُ أَحَدٌ {٢٥} |
25. And none can bind as He will bind on that day. |
| وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُ أَحَدٌ {٢٦} |
26. O soul that art at rest, |
| يَا أَيَّتُهَا النَّفْسُ الْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ {٢٧} |
27. Return to thy Lord, well-pleased, well-pleasing, |
| ارْجِعِي إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَرْضِيَّةً {٢٨} |
28. So enter among My servants, |
| فَادْخُلِي فِي عِبَادِي {٢٩} |
29. And enter My Garden! |
| وَادْخُلِي جَنَّتِي {٣٠} |
30. Nay, I call to witness this City! |
