وَٱلْفَجْرِ By the dawn

وَلَيَالٍ And the nights عَشْرٍ ten

وَٱلشَّفْعِ And the even وَٱلْوَتْرِ and the odd

وَٱلَّيْلِ And the night إِذَا when يَسْرِ it passes

هَلْ Is فِى in ذَٰلِكَ that قَسَمٌ (not) an oath لِّذِى for those حِجْرٍ who understand

أَلَمْ Did not تَرَ you see كَيْفَ how فَعَلَ dealt رَبُّكَ your Lord بِعَادٍ with Aad

إِرَمَ Iram ذَاتِ possessors (of) ٱلْعِمَادِ lofty pillars

ٱلَّتِى Which لَمْ not يُخْلَقْ had been created مِثْلُهَا like them فِى in ٱلْبِلَـٰدِ the cities

وَثَمُودَ And Thamud ٱلَّذِينَ who جَابُوا۟ carved out ٱلصَّخْرَ the rocks بِٱلْوَادِ in the valley

وَفِرْعَوْنَ And Firaun ذِى owner of ٱلْأَوْتَادِ stakes

ٱلَّذِينَ Who طَغَوْا۟ transgressed فِى in ٱلْبِلَـٰدِ the lands

فَأَكْثَرُوا۟ And (made) much فِيهَا therein ٱلْفَسَادَ corruption

فَصَبَّ So poured عَلَيْهِمْ on them رَبُّكَ your Lord سَوْطَ scourge عَذَابٍ (of) punishment

إِنَّ Indeed رَبَّكَ your Lord لَبِٱلْمِرْصَادِ (is) surely Ever Watchful

فَأَمَّا And as for ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ man إِذَا when مَا does ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ try him رَبُّهُۥ his Lord فَأَكْرَمَهُۥ and is generous to him وَنَعَّمَهُۥ and favors him فَيَقُولُ he says رَبِّىٓ My Lord أَكْرَمَنِ has honored me

وَأَمَّآ But إِذَا when مَا does ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ He try him فَقَدَرَ and restricts عَلَيْهِ for him رِزْقَهُۥ his provision فَيَقُولُ then he says رَبِّىٓ My Lord أَهَـٰنَنِ (has) humiliated me

كَلَّا Nay ۖ   بَل But لَّا not تُكْرِمُونَ you honor ٱلْيَتِيمَ the orphan

وَلَا And not تَحَـٰٓضُّونَ you feel the urge عَلَىٰ to طَعَامِ feed ٱلْمِسْكِينِ the poor

وَتَأْكُلُونَ And you consume ٱلتُّرَاثَ the inheritance أَكْلًا devouring لَّمًّا altogether

وَتُحِبُّونَ And you love ٱلْمَالَ wealth حُبًّا (with) love جَمًّا immense

كَلَّآ Nay إِذَا When دُكَّتِ is leveled ٱلْأَرْضُ the earth دَكًّا pounded دَكًّا (and) crushed

وَجَآءَ And comes رَبُّكَ your Lord وَٱلْمَلَكُ and the Angels صَفًّا rank صَفًّا (upon) rank

وَجِا۟ىٓءَ And is brought يَوْمَئِذٍۭ that Day بِجَهَنَّمَ Hell ۚ   يَوْمَئِذٍ That Day يَتَذَكَّرُ will remember ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ man وَأَنَّىٰ but how لَهُ (will be) for him ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ the remembrance

يَقُولُ He will say يَـٰلَيْتَنِى O I wish قَدَّمْتُ I had sent forth لِحَيَاتِى for my life

فَيَوْمَئِذٍ So that Day لَّا not يُعَذِّبُ will punish عَذَابَهُۥٓ (as) His punishment أَحَدٌ anyone

وَلَا And not يُوثِقُ will bind وَثَاقَهُۥٓ (as) His binding أَحَدٌ anyone

يَـٰٓأَيَّتُهَا O ٱلنَّفْسُ soul ٱلْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ who is satisfied

ٱرْجِعِىٓ Return إِلَىٰ to رَبِّكِ your Lord رَاضِيَةً well pleased مَّرْضِيَّةً and pleasing

فَٱدْخُلِى So enter فِى among عِبَـٰدِى My slaves

وَٱدْخُلِى And enter جَنَّتِى My Paradise
