92. Al-Layl

وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ

By the night when it covers

وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ

And [by] the day when it appears

وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَىٰ

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

إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ

Indeed, your efforts are diverse.

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَاتَّقَىٰ

As for he who gives and fears Allah

وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ

And believes in the best [reward],

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ

We will ease him toward ease.

وَأَمَّا مَن بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَىٰ

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

وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ

And denies the best [reward],

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ

We will ease him toward difficulty.

وَمَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُ مَالُهُ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰ

And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?

إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ

Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.

وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْآخِرَةَ وَالْأُولَىٰ

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

فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ

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

لَا يَصْلَاهَا إِلَّا الْأَشْقَى

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

الَّذِي كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ

Who had denied and turned away.

وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا الْأَتْقَى

But the righteous one will avoid it -

الَّذِي يُؤْتِي مَالَهُ يَتَزَكَّىٰ

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

وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰ

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

إِلَّا ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ الْأَعْلَىٰ

But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High.

وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ

And he is going to be satisfied.
