1
وَٱلْفَجْرِ
1. By the dawn,
2
وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ
2. And [by] ten nights,
3
وَٱلشَّفْعِ وَٱلْوَتْرِ
3. And [by] the even and the odd,
4
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ
4. And [by] the night when it passes,
5
هَلْ فِي ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِّذِي حِجْرٍ
5. Is there not in [all] that an oath for one of intellect?
6
أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ
6. Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with ʿĀd—
7
إِرَمَ ذَاتِ ٱلْعِمَادِ
7. [With] Iram—of the lofty pillars—
8
ٱلَّتِي لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِي ٱلْبِلَادِ
8. The like of which had never been created in the lands—
9
وَثَمُودَ ٱلَّذِينَ جَابُوا ٱلصَّخْرَ بِٱلْوَادِ
9. And Thamūd, who carved the rocks in the valley,
10
وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِي ٱلْأَوْتَادِ
10. And Pharaoh, owner of the stakes—
11
ٱلَّذِينَ طَغَوْا فِي ٱلْبِلَادِ
11. Who transgressed throughout the lands,
12
فَأَكْثَرُوا فِيهَا ٱلْفَسَادَ
12. And multiplied therein corruption.
13
فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ
13. So your Lord poured upon them a scourge of punishment.
14
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِٱلْمِرْصَادِ
14. Indeed, your Lord is in observation.
15
فَأَمَّا ٱلْإِنسَانُ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ رَبُّهُ فَأَكْرَمَهُ وَنَعَّمَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّيٓ أَكْرَمَنِ
15. As for man, when his Lord tries him and thus is generous to him and favors him, he says, “My Lord has honored me.”
16
وَأَمَّآ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّيٓ أَهَانَنِ
16. But when He tries him and restricts his provision, he says, “My Lord has humiliated me.”
17
كَلَّا بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ ٱلْيَتِيمَ
17. No! But you do not honor the orphan,
18
وَلَا تَحَاضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ
18. And you do not encourage one another to feed the poor,
19
وَتَأْكُلُونَ ٱلتُّرَاثَ أَكْلًا لَّمًّا
19. And you consume inheritance, devouring [it] altogether,
20
وَتُحِبُّونَ ٱلْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا
20. And you love wealth with immense love.
21
كَلَّآ إِذَا دُكَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا
21. No! When the earth has been leveled, pounded and crushed,
22
وَجَآءَ رَبُّكَ وَٱلْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا
22. And your Lord will come and the angels, rank upon rank,
23
وَجِيٓءَ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ بِجَهَنَّمَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَانُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ
23. And Hell, on that Day, will be brought forth—on that Day man will remember, but how will remembrance avail him?
24
يَقُولُ يَـٰلَيْتَنِى قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِى
24. He will say, “Oh, I wish I had sent ahead [some good] for my life.”
25
فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ
25. So on that Day no one will punish as He punishes,
26
وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ
26. And no one will bind [as severely] as He binds.
27
يَـٰٓأَيَّتُهَا ٱلنَّفْسُ ٱلْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ
27. [To the righteous it will be said], “O tranquil soul,
28
ٱرْجِعِىٓ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرْضِيَّةً
28. Return to your Lord, well-pleased and pleasing [to Him],
29
فَٱدْخُلِى فِى عِبَادِى
29. And enter among My servants,
30
وَٱدْخُلِى جَنَّتِى
30. And enter My Paradise.”
