وَالْفَجْرِ

Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar

وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ

Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar

and the ten nights,

Walayalin AAashrin

وَالشَّفْعِ وَالْوَتْرِ

Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar

by the even number and the odd number

WaalshshafAAi waalwatri

وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ

Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar

and at night when it sets out.

Waallayli itha yasri

هَلْ فِي ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِّذِي حِجْرٍ

Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar

Is there not in that an oath to be sworn for a possessor of intelligence?

Hal fee thalika qasamun lithee hijrin

أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ

Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar

Hast thou not considered how thy Lord accomplished with Ad,

Alam tara kayfa faAAala rabbuka biAAadin

إِرَمَ ذَاتِ الْعِمَادِ

Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar

with Iram of the pillars

Irama thati alAAimadi

الَّتِي لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِي الْبِلَادِ

Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar

of which are not created the likes in the land?

Allatee lam yukhlaq mithluha fee albiladi

وَثَمُودَ الَّذِينَ جَابُوا الصَّخْرَ بِالْوَادِ

Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar

And with Thamud, those who hollowed out the rocks in the valley?

Wathamooda allatheena jaboo alssakhra bialwadi

وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِي الْأَوْتَادِ

Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar

And with Pharaoh, the possessor of the stakes,

WafirAAawna thee al-awtadi

الَّذِينَ طَغَوْا فِي الْبِلَادِ

Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar

those who were defiant in the land

Allatheena taghaw fee albiladi

فَأَكْثَرُوا فِيهَا الْفَسَادَ

Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar

and made much corruption in it?

Faaktharoo feeha alfasada

فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ

Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar

So thy Lord unloosed on them a scourge of punishment.

Fasabba AAalayhim rabbuka sawta AAathabin

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِالْمِرْصَادِ

Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar

Truly, thy Lord is, surely, on the watch.

Inna rabbaka labialmirsadi

فَأَمَّا الْإِنسَانُ إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ رَبُّهُ فَأَكْرَمَهُ وَنَعَّمَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَكْرَمَنِ

Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar

Then, as for the human being, when his Lord tested him and honored him and lauded him, he says: My Lord honored me.

Faamma al-insanu itha ma ibtalahu rabbuhu faakramahu wanaAAAAamahu fayaqoolu rabbee akramani

وَأَمَّا إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَهَانَنِ

Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar

But whenever He tested him and constricted his provision for him, he says: My Lord despised me.

Waamma itha ma ibtalahu faqadara AAalayhi rizqahu fayaqoolu rabbee ahanani

كَلَّا بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ الْيَتِيمَ

Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar

No indeed! Nay! You honor not the orphan

Kalla bal la tukrimoona alyateema

وَلَا تَحَاضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ الْمِسْكِينِ

Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar

and you encouraged not one another about food for the needy

Wala tahaddoona AAala taAAami almiskeeni

وَتَأْكُلُونَ التُّرَاثَ أَكْلًا لَّمًّا

Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar

and you consume the inheritance, a greedy consuming,

Wata/kuloona altturatha aklan lamman

وَتُحِبُّونَ الْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا

Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar

and you love wealth with an ardent cherishing.

Watuhibboona almala hubban jamman

كَلَّا إِذَا دُكَّتِ الْأَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا

Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar

No indeed! When the earth will be ground to powder, ground to powder, ground to powder,

Kalla itha dukkati al-ardu dakkan dakkan

وَجَاءَ رَبُّكَ وَالْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا

Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar

and thy Lord will draw near, and the angels, ranged in rows,

Wajaa rabbuka waalmalaku saffan saffan

وَجِيءَ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِجَهَنَّمَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْإِنسَانُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ الذِّكْرَىٰ

Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar

on the Day hell is brought about. On that Day the human being will recollect. And how will the reminder be for him?

Wajee-a yawma-ithin bijahannama yawma-ithin yatathakkaru al-insanu waanna lahu alththikra

يَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِي

Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar

He will say: O would that I had put forward from this life for the world to come!

Yaqoolu ya laytanee qaddamtu lihayatee

فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُ أَحَدٌ

Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar

Then, on that Day, He will punish no one the like of His punishment.

Fayawma-ithin la yuAAaththibu AAathabahu ahadun

وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُ أَحَدٌ

Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar

And no one will bind as His restraints.

Wala yoothiqu wathaqahu ahadun

يَا أَيَّتُهَا النَّفْسُ الْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ

Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar

O soul, one that is at peace!

Ya ayyatuha alnnafsu almutma-innatu

ارْجِعِي إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرْضِيَّةً

Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar

Return to thy Lord, one that is well-pleasing, well-pleased:

IrjiAAee ila rabbiki radiyatan mardiyyatan

فَادْخُلِي فِي عِبَادِي

Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar

Enter thou among My servants

Faodkhulee fee AAibadee

وَادْخُلِي جَنَّتِي

Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar

and thou enter My Garden!

Waodkhulee jannatee
