1 | By the night enshrouding |
2 | And the day resplendent |
3 | And Him Who hath created male and female, |
4 | Lo! your effort is dispersed (toward divers ends). |
5 | As for him who giveth and is dutiful (toward Allah) |
6 | And believeth in goodness; |
7 | Surely We will ease his way unto the state of ease. |
8 | But as for him who hoardeth and deemeth himself independent, |
9 | And disbelieveth in goodness; |
10 | Surely We will ease his way unto adversity. |
11 | His riches will not save him when he perisheth. |
12 | Lo! Ours it is (to give) the guidance |
13 | And lo! unto Us belong the latter portion and the former. |
14 | Therefor have I warned you of the flaming Fire |
15 | Which only the most wretched must endure, |
16 | He who denieth and turneth away. |
17 | Far removed from it will be the righteous |
18 | Who giveth his wealth that he may grow (in goodness). |
19 | And none hath with him any favour for reward, |
20 | Except as seeking (to fulfil) the purpose of his Lord Most High. |
21 | He verily will be content. |
