Al-Lail


وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذَا يَغۡشَىٰ

By the enshrouding night,


وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ

by the radiant day,


وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلۡأُنثَىٰٓ

by His creation of male and female!


إِنَّ سَعۡيَكُمۡ لَشَتَّىٰ

The ways you take differ greatly.


فَأَمَّا مَنۡ أَعۡطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ

There is the one who gives, who is mindful of God,


وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ

who testifies to goodness––


فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلۡيُسۡرَىٰ

We shall smooth his way towards ease.


وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسۡتَغۡنَىٰ

There is the one who is miserly, who is self-satisfied,


وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ

who denies goodness––


فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلۡعُسۡرَىٰ

We shall smooth his way towards hardship


وَمَا يُغۡنِي عَنۡهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ

and his wealth will not help him as he falls.
