بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
وَٱلْعَصْرِ
Wal' asr
By the time!
إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ لَفِى خُسْرٍ
Innal insaana lafee khusr
Lo! Man is in a state of loss;
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلصَّبْرِ
Il lal lazeena aamanu wa 'amilus saali haati wa tawa saw bil haqqi wa tawa saw bis sabr
save those who have faith and do righteous deeds, and counsel each other to hold on to truth and counsel each other to be steadfast.
