Surah Al-Layl

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ ﴿١﴾

Wallaili izaa yaghshaa

1By the night when it covers

وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ ﴿٢﴾

Wannahaari izaa tajalla

2And [by] the day when it appears

وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ ﴿٣﴾

Wa maa khalaqaz zakara wal unthaa

3And [by] He who created the male and female,

إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ ﴿٤﴾

Inna sa'yakum lashattaa

4Indeed, your efforts are diverse.

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ ﴿٥﴾

Fa ammaa man a'taa wattaqaa

5As for he who gives and fears Allah

وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ ﴿٦﴾

Wa saddaqa bil husnaa

6And believes in the best [reward],

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ ﴿٧﴾

Fasanu yassiruhoo lilyusraa

7We will ease him toward ease.

وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ ﴿٨﴾

Wa ammaa mam bakhila wastaghnaa

8But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need

وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ ﴿٩﴾

Wa kazzaba bil husnaa

9And denies the best [reward],

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ ﴿١٠﴾

Fasanu yassiruhoo lil'usraa

10We will ease him toward difficulty.

وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ ﴿١١﴾

Wa maa yughnee 'anhu maaluhooo izaa taraddaa

11And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?

إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ ﴿١٢﴾

Inna 'alainaa lal hudaa

12Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.

وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْءَاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ ﴿١٣﴾

Wa inna lanaa lal Aakhirata wal oolaa

13And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].

فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًۭا تَلَظَّىٰ ﴿١٤﴾

Fa anzartukum naaran talazzaa

14So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.

لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى ﴿١٥﴾

Laa yaslaahaaa illal ashqaa

15None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one.

ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ﴿١٦﴾

Allazee kazzaba wa tawallaa

16Who had denied and turned away.

وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى ﴿١٧﴾

Wa sa yujannnabuhal atqaa

17But the righteous one will avoid it -

ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ ﴿١٨﴾

Allazee yu'tee maalahoo yatazakkaa

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

وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍۢ تُجْزَىٰٓ ﴿١٩﴾

Wa maa li ahadin 'indahoo min ni'matin tujzaaa

19And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded

إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ ﴿٢٠﴾

Illab tighaaa'a wajhi rabbihil a 'laa

20But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High.

وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ ﴿٢١﴾

Wa lasawfa yardaa

21And he is going to be satisfied.
