Surah Al-Layl

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ﴿١﴾

Wallaili izaa yaghshaa

By the night when it covers

وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ﴿٢﴾

Wannahaari izaa tajalla

And [by] the day when it appears

وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ﴿٣﴾

Wa maa khalaqaz zakara wal unthaa

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

إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ﴿٤﴾

Inna sa'yakum lashattaa

Indeed, your efforts are diverse.

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ﴿٥﴾

Fa ammaa man a'taa wattaqaa

As for he who gives and fears Allah

وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ﴿٦﴾

Wa saddaqa bil husnaa

And believes in the best [reward],

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ﴿٧﴾

Fasanu yassiruhoo lilyusraa

We will ease him toward ease.

وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ﴿٨﴾

Wa ammaa mam bakhila wastaghnaa

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

وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ﴿٩﴾

Wa kazzaba bil husnaa

And denies the best [reward],

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ﴿١٠﴾

Fasanu yassiruhoo lil'usraa

We will ease him toward difficulty.

وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ﴿١١﴾

Wa maa yughnee 'anhu maaluhooo izaa taraddaa

And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?

إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ﴿١٢﴾

Inna 'alainaa lal hudaa

Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.

وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْءَاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ﴿١٣﴾

Wa inna lanaa lal Aakhirata wal oolaa

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

فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًۭا تَلَظَّىٰ﴿١٤﴾

Fa anzartukum naaran talazzaa

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

لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى﴿١٥﴾

Laa yaslaahaaa illal ashqaa

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

ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ﴿١٦﴾

Allazee kazzaba wa tawallaa

Who had denied and turned away.

وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى﴿١٧﴾

Wa sa yujannnabuhal atqaa

But the righteous one will avoid it -

ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ﴿١٨﴾

Allazee yu'tee maalahoo yatazakkaa

[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

And 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

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

وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ﴿٢١﴾

Wa lasawfa yardaa

And he is going to be satisfied.
