وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ ١
By the Night as it conceals (the light);
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ ١
By the Night as it conceals (the light);
وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ ٢
By the Day as it appears in glory;
وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنْثَىٰ ٣
By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female;-
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ ٤
Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse.
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَاتَّقَىٰ ٥
So he who gives (in charity) and fears (Allah),
وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ ٦
And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best,-
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ ٧
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss.
وَأَمَّا مَنْ بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَىٰ ٨
But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient,
وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ ٩
And gives the lie to the best,-
