بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
وَٱلْفَجْرِ
By the daybreak.
وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ
And ten nights.
وَٱلشَّفْعِ وَٱلْوَتْرِ
And the even and the odd.
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ
And the night as it recedes.
هَلْ فِى ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِّذِى حِجْرٍ
Is there in this an oath for a rational person?
أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ
Have you not seen how your Lord dealt with Aad?
إِرَمَ ذَاتِ ٱلْعِمَادِ
Erum of the pillars.
ٱلَّتِى لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِى ٱلْبِلَـٰدِ
The like of which was never created in the land.
وَثَمُودَ ٱلَّذِينَ جَابُوا۟ ٱلصَّخْرَ بِٱلْوَادِ
And Thamood—those who carved the rocks in the valley.
وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِى ٱلْأَوْتَادِ
And Pharaoh of the Stakes.
ٱلَّذِينَ طَغَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْبِلَـٰدِ
Those who committed excesses in the lands.
فَأَكْثَرُوا۟ فِيهَا ٱلْفَسَادَ
And spread much corruption therein.
فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ
So your Lord poured down upon them a scourge of punishment.
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِٱلْمِرْصَادِ
Your Lord is on the lookout.
فَأَمَّا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَأَكْرَمَهُۥ وَنَعَّمَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَكْرَمَنِ
As for man, whenever his Lord tests him, and honors him, and prospers him, he says, “My Lord has honored me.”
وَأَمَّآ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَهَـٰنَنِ
But whenever He tests him, and restricts his livelihood for him, he says, “My Lord has insulted me.”
كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ ٱلْيَتِيمَ
Not at all. But you do not honor the orphan.
وَلَا تَحَـٰٓضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ
And you do not urge the feeding of the poor.
وَتَأْكُلُونَ ٱلتُّرَاثَ أَكْلًا لَّمًّا
And you devour inheritance with all greed.
وَتُحِبُّونَ ٱلْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا
And you love wealth with immense love.
كَلَّآ إِذَا دُكَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا
No—when the earth is leveled, pounded, and crushed.
وَجَآءَ رَبُّكَ وَٱلْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا
And your Lord comes, with the angels, row after row.
وَجِا۟ىٓءَ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِجَهَنَّمَ ۚ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ
And on that Day, Hell is brought forward. On that Day, man will remember, but how will remembrance avail him?
يَقُولُ يَـٰلَيْتَنِى قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِى
He will say, “If only I had forwarded for my life.”
فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ
On that Day, none will punish as He punishes.
وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ
And none will shackle as He shackles.
يَـٰٓأَيَّتُهَا ٱلنَّفْسُ ٱلْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ
But as for you, O tranquil soul.
ٱرْجِعِىٓ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرْضِيَّةً
Return to your Lord, pleased and accepted.
فَٱدْخُلِى فِى عِبَـٰدِى
Enter among My servants.
وَٱدْخُلِى جَنَّتِى
Enter My Paradise.
