وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ

Musharraf Hussain

by the ten holy nights,

Walayalin AAashrin

وَالشَّفْعِ وَالْوَتْرِ

Musharraf Hussain

by the even and the odd numbers,

WaalshshafAAi waalwatri

وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ

Musharraf Hussain

and by the night as it slips away!

Waallayli itha yasri

هَلْ فِي ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِّذِي حِجْرٍ

Musharraf Hussain

Isn’t there a convincing oath for an intelligent person?

Hal fee thalika qasamun lithee hijrin

أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ

Musharraf Hussain

Haven’t you considered how your Lord dealt with the people of Ad;

Alam tara kayfa faAAala rabbuka biAAadin

إِرَمَ ذَاتِ الْعِمَادِ

Musharraf Hussain

of Iram with its lofty pillars,

Irama thati alAAimadi

الَّتِي لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِي الْبِلَادِ

Musharraf Hussain

the likes of which haven’t existed in other lands;

Allatee lam yukhlaq mithluha fee albiladi

وَثَمُودَ الَّذِينَ جَابُوا الصَّخْرَ بِالْوَادِ

Musharraf Hussain

and the people of Thamud who carved homes out of rocks in the valley;

Wathamooda allatheena jaboo alssakhra bialwadi

وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِي الْأَوْتَادِ

Musharraf Hussain

and the Pharaoh, his temples with massive columns?

WafirAAawna thee al-awtadi

الَّذِينَ طَغَوْا فِي الْبِلَادِ

Musharraf Hussain

Those who transgressed in the lands,

Allatheena taghaw fee albiladi

فَأَكْثَرُوا فِيهَا الْفَسَادَ

Musharraf Hussain

who brought about havoc throughout them –

Faaktharoo feeha alfasada

فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ

Musharraf Hussain

Your Lord let loose a scourge of suffering against them.

Fasabba AAalayhim rabbuka sawta AAathabin

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِالْمِرْصَادِ

Musharraf Hussain

Your Lord is ever watchful

Inna rabbaka labialmirsadi

فَأَمَّا الْإِنسَانُ إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ رَبُّهُ فَأَكْرَمَهُ وَنَعَّمَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَكْرَمَنِ

Musharraf Hussain

The mortal man, when His Lord tests him with honour and blessings says, “My Lord has honoured me.”

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

وَأَمَّا إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَهَانَنِ

Musharraf Hussain

However, when He tests him by lessening his provision he says, “My Lord has shamed me.

Waamma itha ma ibtalahu faqadara AAalayhi rizqahu fayaqoolu rabbee ahanani

كَلَّا بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ الْيَتِيمَ

Musharraf Hussain

On the contrary, it is you Makkans who don’t honour orphans,

Kalla bal la tukrimoona alyateema

وَلَا تَحَاضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ الْمِسْكِينِ

Musharraf Hussain

and don’t urge others to feed the needy,

Wala tahaddoona AAala taAAami almiskeeni

وَتَأْكُلُونَ التُّرَاثَ أَكْلًا لَّمًّا

Musharraf Hussain

while you consume the whole of the orphans’ inheritance

Wata/kuloona altturatha aklan lamman

وَتُحِبُّونَ الْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا

Musharraf Hussain

with your insatiable love of wealth

Watuhibboona almala hubban jamman

كَلَّا إِذَا دُكَّتِ الْأَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا

Musharraf Hussain

So, how will you fare when the Earth is ground to dust,

Kalla itha dukkati al-ardu dakkan dakkan

وَجَاءَ رَبُّكَ وَالْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا

Musharraf Hussain

and Your Lord’s command comes, and the angels stand in rows upon rows.

Wajaa rabbuka waalmalaku saffan saffan

وَجِيءَ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِجَهَنَّمَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْإِنسَانُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ الذِّكْرَىٰ

Musharraf Hussain

That Day Hell will be brought close, people will then remember. But how will remembering benefit them now?

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

يَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِي

Musharraf Hussain

They will say, “If only We had something to show for our lives!”

Yaqoolu ya laytanee qaddamtu lihayatee

فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُ أَحَدٌ

Musharraf Hussain

Then on that Day, He will punish as no one will ever punish,

Fayawma-ithin la yuAAaththibu AAathabahu ahadun

وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُ أَحَدٌ

Musharraf Hussain

and He will chain them as no one will ever chain

Wala yoothiqu wathaqahu ahadun

يَا أَيَّتُهَا النَّفْسُ الْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ

Musharraf Hussain

Allah will say: O happy soul!

Ya ayyatuha alnnafsu almutma-innatu

ارْجِعِي إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرْضِيَّةً

Musharraf Hussain

Return to Your Lord cheerfully and loved;

IrjiAAee ila rabbiki radiyatan mardiyyatan

فَادْخُلِي فِي عِبَادِي

Musharraf Hussain

now join the company of My servants

Faodkhulee fee AAibadee

وَادْخُلِي جَنَّتِي

Musharraf Hussain

and come into My Paradise

Waodkhulee jannatee
