وَٱلْفَجْرِ
By the dawn

وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ
And [by] ten nights
-
وَٱلشَّفْعِ وَٱلْوَتْرِ
And [by] the even [number] and the odd
-
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ
And [by] the night when it passes,
-
هَلْ فِى ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِّذِى حِجْرٍ
Is there [not] in [all] that an oath [sufficient] for one of perception?
-
أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ
Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with 'Aad -
-
إِرَمَ ذَاتِ ٱلْعِمَادِ
[With] Iram - who had lofty pillars,
-
ٱلَّتِى لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِى ٱلْبِلَـٰدِ
The likes of whom had never been created in the land?
-
وَثَمُودَ ٱلَّذِينَ جَابُوا۟ ٱلصَّخْرَ بِٱلْوَادِ
And [with] Thamud, who carved out the rocks in the valley?
-
وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِى ٱلْأَوْتَادِ
And [with] Pharaoh, owner of the stakes? -
-
ٱلَّذِينَ طَغَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْبِلَـٰدِ
[All of] whom oppressed within the lands
-
فَأَكْثَرُوا۟ فِيهَا ٱلْفَسَادَ
And increased therein the corruption.
-
فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ
So your Lord poured upon them a scourge of punishment.
-
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِٱلْمِرْصَادِ
Indeed, your Lord is in observation.
-
فَأَمَّا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَأَكْرَمَهُۥ وَنَعَّمَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَكْرَمَنِ
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."
-
وَأَمَّآ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَهَـٰنَنِ
But when He tries him and restricts his provision, he says, "My Lord has humiliated me."
-
كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ ٱلْيَتِيمَ
No! But you do not honor the orphan
-
وَلَا تَحَـٰٓضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ
And you do not encourage one another to feed the poor.
-
وَتَأْكُلُونَ ٱلتُّرَاثَ أَكْلًا لَّمًّا
And you consume inheritance, devouring [it] altogether,
-
وَتُحِبُّونَ ٱلْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا
And you love wealth with immense love.
-
كَلَّآ إِذَا دُكَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا
No! When the earth has been leveled - pounded and crushed -
-
وَجَآءَ رَبُّكَ وَٱلْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا
And your Lord has come and the angels, rank upon rank,
-
وَجِا۟ىٓءَ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِجَهَنَّمَ ۚ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ
And brought [within view], that Day, is Hell - that Day, man will remember, but what good to him will be the remembrance?
-
يَقُولُ يَـٰلَيْتَنِى قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِى
He will say, "Oh, I wish I had sent ahead [some good] for my life."
-
فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ
So on that Day, none will punish [as severely] as His punishment,
-
وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ
And none will bind [as severely] as His binding [of the evildoers].
-
يَـٰٓأَيَّتُهَا ٱلنَّفْسُ ٱلْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ
[To the righteous it will be said], "O reassured soul,
-
ٱرْجِعِىٓ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرْضِيَّةً
Return to your Lord, well-pleased and pleasing [to Him],
-
فَٱدْخُلِى فِى عِبَـٰدِى
And enter among My [righteous] servants
-
وَٱدْخُلِى جَنَّتِى
And enter My Paradise."
