وَالْفَجْرِ ١ i

By the dawn (1)

وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ ٢ i

And [by] ten nights (2)

وَالشَّفْعِ وَالْوَتْرِ ٣ i

And [by] the even [number] and the odd (3)

And [by] the night when it passes, (4)

هَلْ فِي ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِذِي حِجْرٍ ٥ i

Is there [not] in [all] that an oath [sufficient] for one of perception? (5)

أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ ٦ i

Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with 'Aad - (6)

إِرَمَ ذَاتِ الْعِمَادِ ٧ i

[With] Iram - who had lofty pillars, (7)

الَّتِي لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِي الْبِلَادِ ٨ i

The likes of whom had never been created in the land? (8)

وَثَمُودَ الَّذِينَ جَابُوا الصَّخْرَ بِالْوَادِ ٩ i

And [with] Thamud, who carved out the rocks in the valley? (9)

وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِي الْأَوْتَادِ ١٠ i

And [with] Pharaoh, owner of the stakes? - (10)

الَّذِينَ طَغَوْا فِي الْبِلَادِ ١١ i

[All of] whom oppressed within the lands (11)

فَأَكْثَرُوا فِيهَا الْفَسَادَ ١٢ i

And increased therein the corruption. (12)

فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ ١٣ i

So your Lord poured upon them a scourge of punishment. (13)

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِالْمِرْصَادِ ١٤ i

Indeed, your Lord is in observation. (14)

فَأَمَّا الْإِنْسَانُ إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ رَبُّهُ فَأَكْرَمَهُ وَنَعَّمَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَكْرَمَنِ ١٥ i

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." (15)

وَأَمَّا إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَهَانَنِ ١٦ i

But when He tries him and restricts his provision, he says, "My Lord has humiliated me." (16)

كَلَّا ۖ بَلْ لَا تُكْرِمُونَ الْيَتِيمَ ١٧ i

No! But you do not honor the orphan (17)

وَلَا تَحَاضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ الْمِسْكِينِ ١٨ i

And you do not encourage one another to feed the poor. (18)

وَتَأْكُلُونَ التُّرَاثَ أَكْلًا لَمًّا ١٩ i

And you consume inheritance, devouring [it] altogether, (19)

وَتُحِبُّونَ الْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا ٢٠ i

And you love wealth with immense love. (20)

كَلَّا إِذَا دُكَّتِ الْأَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا ٢١ i

No! When the earth has been leveled - pounded and crushed - (21)

وَجَاءَ رَبُّكَ وَالْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا ٢٢ i

And your Lord has come and the angels, rank upon rank, (22)

وَجِيءَ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِجَهَنَّمَ ۚ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْإِنْسَانُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ الذِّكْرَىٰ ٢٣ i

And brought [within view], that Day, is Hell - that Day, man will remember, but what good to him will be the remembrance? (23)

يَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِي ٢٤ i

He will say, "Oh, I wish I had sent ahead [some good] for my life." (24)

فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُ أَحَدٌ ٢٥ i

So on that Day, none will punish [as severely] as His punishment, (25)

وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُ أَحَدٌ ٢٦ i

And none will bind [as severely] as His binding [of the evildoers]. (26)

يَا أَيَّتُهَا النَّفْسُ الْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ ٢٧ i

[To the righteous it will be said], "O reassured soul, (27)

ارْجِعِي إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَرْضِيَّةً ٢٨ i

Return to your Lord, well-pleased and pleasing [to Him], (28)

فَادْخُلِي فِي عِبَادِي ٢٩ i

And enter among My [righteous] servants (29)

وَادْخُلِي جَنَّتِي ٣٠ i

And enter My Paradise." (30)
