بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
وَٱلْفَجْرِ
Wal-Fajr
I swear by the daybreak,
وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍۢ
Wa layaalin 'ashr
And the ten nights,
وَٱلشَّفْعِ وَٱلْوَتْرِ
Wash shaf'i wal watr
And the even and the odd,
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ
Wallaili izaa yasr
And the night when it departs.
هَلْ فِى ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٌۭ لِّذِى حِجْرٍ
Hal fee zaalika qasamul lizee hijr
Truly in that there is an oath for those who possess understanding.
أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ
Alam tara kaifa fa'ala rabbuka bi'aad
Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with Ad,
إِرَمَ ذَاتِ ٱلْعِمَادِ
Iramaa zaatil 'imaad
(The people of) Aram, possessors of lofty buildings,
ٱلَّتِى لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِى ٱلْبِلَٰدِ
Allatee lam yukhlaq misluhaa fil bilaad
The like of which were not created in the (other) cities;
وَثَمُودَ ٱلَّذِينَ جَابُوا۟ ٱلصَّخْرَ بِٱلْوَادِ
Wa samoodal lazeena jaabus sakhra bil waad
And (with) Samood, who hewed out the rocks in the valley,
وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِى ٱلْأَوْتَادِ
Wa fir'awna zil awtaad
And (with) Firon, the lord of hosts,
ٱلَّذِينَ طَغَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْبِلَٰدِ
Allazeena taghaw fil bilaad
Who committed inordinacy in the cities,
فَأَكْثَرُوا۟ فِيهَا ٱلْفَسَادَ
Fa aksaroo feehal fasaad
So they made great mischief therein?
فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ
Fasabba 'alaihim Rabbuka sawta 'azaab
Therefore your Lord let down upon them a portion of the chastisement.
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِٱلْمِرْصَادِ
Inna Rabbaka labil mirsaad
Most surely your Lord is watching.
فَأَمَّا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَأَكْرَمَهُۥ وَنَعَّمَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَكْرَمَنِ
Fa ammal insaanu izaa mab talaahu Rabbuhoo fa akramahoo wa na' 'amahoo fa yaqoolu Rabbeee akraman
And as for man, when his Lord tries him, then treats him with honor and makes him lead an easy life, he says: My Lord honors me.
وَأَمَّآ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَهَٰنَنِ
Wa ammaaa izaa mabtalaahu faqadara 'alaihi rizqahoo fa yaqoolu Rabbeee ahaanan
But when He tries him (differently), then straitens to him his means of subsistence, he says: My Lord has disgraced me.
كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ ٱلْيَتِيمَ
Kalla bal laa tukrimooo nal yateem
Nay! but you do not honor the orphan,
وَلَا تَحَٰٓضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ
Wa laa tahaaaddoona 'alaata'aamil miskeen
Nor do you urge one another to feed the poor,
وَتَأْكُلُونَ ٱلتُّرَاثَ أَكْلًۭا لَّمًّۭا
Wa taakuloonat turaasa aklal lammaa
And you eat away the heritage, devouring (everything) indiscriminately,
وَتُحِبُّونَ ٱلْمَالَ حُبًّۭا جَمًّۭا
Wa tuhibboonal maala hubban jammaa
And you love wealth with exceeding love.
كَلَّآ إِذَا دُكَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ دَكًّۭا دَكًّۭا
Kallaaa izaaa dukkatil ardu dakkan dakka
Nay! when the earth is made to crumble to pieces,
وَجَآءَ رَبُّكَ وَٱلْمَلَكُ صَفًّۭا صَفًّۭا
Wa jaaa'a Rabbuka wal malaku saffan saffaa
And your Lord comes and (also) the angels in ranks,
وَجِا۟ىٓءَ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِجَهَنَّمَ ۚ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ
Wa jeee'a yawma'izim bi jahannnam; Yawma 'iziny yatazakkarul insaanu wa annaa lahuz zikraa
And hell is made to appear on that day. On that day shall man be mindful, and what shall being mindful (then) avail him?
يَقُولُ يَٰلَيْتَنِى قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِى
Yaqoolu yaa laitanee qaddamtu lihayaatee
He shall say: O! would that I had sent before for (this) my life!
فَيَوْمَئِذٍۢ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌۭ
Fa Yawma izil laa yu'azzibu 'azaabahooo ahad
But on that day shall no one chastise with (anything like) His chastisement,
وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌۭ
Wa laa yoosiqu wasaaqa hooo ahad
And no one shall bind with (anything like) His binding.
يَٰٓأَيَّتُهَا ٱلنَّفْسُ ٱلْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ
Yaaa ayyatuhan nafsul mutma 'innah
O soul that art at rest!
ٱرْجِعِىٓ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةًۭ مَّرْضِيَّةًۭ
Irji'eee ilaa Rabbiki raadiyatam mardiyyah
Return to your Lord, well-pleased (with him), well-pleasing (Him),
فَٱدْخُلِى فِى عِبَٰدِى
Fadkhulee fee 'ibaadee
So enter among My servants,
وَٱدْخُلِى جَنَّتِى
Wadkhulee jannatee
And enter into My garden.
Meccan
