يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُزَّمِّلُ ١
O thou folded in garments!
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
73:2
قُمِ اللَّيْلَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا ٢
Stand (to prayer) by night, but not all night,-
73:3
نِصْفَهُ أَوِ انْقُصْ مِنْهُ قَلِيلًا ٣
Half of it,- or a little less,
73:4
أَوْ زِدْ عَلَيْهِ وَرَتِّلِ الْقُرْآنَ تَرْتِيلًا ٤
Or a little more; and recite the Quran in slow, measured rhythmic tones.
73:5
إِنَّا سَنُلْقِي عَلَيْكَ قَوْلًا ثَقِيلًا ٥
Soon shall We send down to thee a weighty Message.
73:6
إِنَّ نَاشِئَةَ اللَّيْلِ هِيَ أَشَدُّ وَطْئًا وَأَقْوَمُ قِيلًا ٦
Truly the rising by night is most potent for governing (the soul), and most suitable for (framing) the Word (of Prayer and Praise).
