وَالۡفَجۡرِۙ‏

By the dawn

وَلَيَالٍ عَشۡرٍۙ‏

And [by] ten nights

وَّالشَّفۡعِ وَالۡوَتۡرِۙ‏

And [by] the even [number] and the odd

وَالَّيۡلِ اِذَا يَسۡرِۚ‏

And [by] the night when it passes

هَلۡ فِيۡ ذٰلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِّذِيۡ حِجۡرٍؕ‏

Is there [not] in [all] that an oath [sufficient] for one of perception

اَلَمۡ تَرَ كَيۡفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍۙࣕ‏

Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with 'Aad

اِرَمَ ذَاتِ الۡعِمَادِۙࣕ‏

[With] Iram - who had lofty pillars

الَّتِيۡ لَمۡ يُخۡلَقۡ مِثۡلُهَا فِي الۡبِلَادِۙࣕ‏

The likes of whom had never been created in the land

وَثَمُوۡدَ الَّذِيۡنَ جَابُوا الصَّخۡرَ بِالۡوَادِۙࣕ‏

And [with] Thamud, who carved out the rocks in the valley

وَفِرۡعَوۡنَ ذِي الۡاَوۡتَادِۙࣕ‏

And [with] Pharaoh, owner of the stakes

الَّذِيۡنَ طَغَوۡا فِي الۡبِلَادِۙࣕ‏

[All of] whom oppressed within the lands

فَاَكۡثَرُوۡا فِيۡهَا الۡفَسَادَۙࣕ‏

And increased therein the corruption

فَصَبَّ عَلَيۡهِمۡ رَبُّكَ سَوۡطَ عَذَابٍۙۚ‏

So your Lord poured upon them a scourge of punishment

اِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِالۡمِرۡصَادِؕ‏

Indeed, your Lord is in observation

فَاَمَّا الۡاِنۡسَانُ اِذَا مَا ابۡتَلٰىهُ رَبُّهٗ فَاَكۡرَمَهٗ وَنَعَّمَهٗ ࣢ۙ فَيَقُوۡلُ رَبِّيۡ٘ اَكۡرَمَنِؕ‏

And as for man, when his Lord tries him and [thus] is generous to him and favors him, he says, "My Lord has honored me

وَاَمَّا٘ اِذَا مَا ابۡتَلٰىهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيۡهِ رِزۡقَهٗ ࣢ۙ فَيَقُوۡلُ رَبِّيۡ٘ اَهَانَنِۚ‏

But when He tries him and restricts his provision, he says, "My Lord has humiliated me

كَلَّا بَلۡ لَّا تُكۡرِمُوۡنَ الۡيَتِيۡمَۙ‏

No! But you do not honor the orphan

وَلَا تَحٰٓضُّوۡنَ عَلٰي طَعَامِ الۡمِسۡكِيۡنِۙ‏

And you do not encourage one another to feed the poor

وَتَاۡكُلُوۡنَ التُّرَاثَ اَكۡلًا لَّمًّاۙ‏

And you consume inheritance, devouring [it] altogether

وَّتُحِبُّوۡنَ الۡمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّاؕ‏

And you love wealth with immense love

كَلَّا٘ اِذَا دُكَّتِ الۡاَرۡضُ دَكًّا دَكًّاۙ‏

No! When the earth has been leveled - pounded and crushed

وَّجَآءَ رَبُّكَ وَالۡمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّاۚ‏

And your Lord has come and the angels, rank upon rank

وَجِايۡٓءَ يَوۡمَئِذٍۭ بِجَهَنَّمَ ࣢ۙ يَوۡمَئِذٍ يَّتَذَكَّرُ الۡاِنۡسَانُ وَاَنّٰي لَهُ الذِّكۡرٰيؕ‏

And brought [within view], that Day, is Hell - that Day, man will remember, but what good to him will be the remembrance

يَقُوۡلُ يٰلَيۡتَنِيۡ قَدَّمۡتُ لِحَيَاتِيۡۚ‏

He will say, "Oh, I wish I had sent ahead [some good] for my life

فَيَوۡمَئِذٍ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهٗ٘ اَحَدٌۙ‏

So on that Day, none will punish [as severely] as His punishment

وَّلَا يُوۡثِقُ وَثَاقَهٗ٘ اَحَدٌؕ‏

And none will bind [as severely] as His binding [of the evildoers]

يٰ٘اَيَّتُهَا النَّفۡسُ الۡمُطۡمَئِنَّةُۙࣗ‏

[To the righteous it will be said], "O reassured soul

ارۡجِعِيۡ٘ اِلٰي رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرۡضِيَّةًۚ‏

Return to your Lord, well-pleased and pleasing [to Him]

فَادۡخُلِيۡ فِيۡ عِبٰدِيۡۙ‏

And enter among My [righteous] servants

وَادۡخُلِيۡ جَنَّتِيۡࣖ‏

And enter My Paradise
