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. |
