The Night — Ahmed Hulusi Translation – Parallel Quran

1 The Night

وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ

I swear by the night when it covers over,

Waallayli itha yaghsha

وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ

And by the day as it radiantly appears,

Waalnnahari itha tajalla

وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَىٰ

And by the One who created the male and the female (active and receptive energies),

Wama khalaqa alththakara waal-ontha

إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ

Indeed, your efforts are of different intentions.

Inna saAAyakum lashatta

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَاتَّقَىٰ

He who gives (both of himself, i.e. his constructed identity, and from himself, i.e. from that which is valuable for him) and protects himself,

Faamma man aAAta waittaqa

وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ

And believes in (confirms) the Most Beautiful (Names) (to be his essential reality),

Wasaddaqa bialhusna

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ

We will ease him towards ease.

Fasanuyassiruhu lilyusra

وَأَمَّا مَن بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَىٰ

But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need (for purification and protection),

Waamma man bakhila waistaghna

وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ

And denies the Most Beautiful (to be his essential reality),

Wakaththaba bialhusna

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ

We will ease him toward the most difficult (to a life veiled from the knowledge of the reality and the sunnatullah)!

Fasanuyassiruhu lilAAusra

وَمَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُ مَالُهُ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰ

And when he falls (into Hell) his wealth will be of no avail to him.

Wama yughnee AAanhu maluhu itha taradda

إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ

Upon Us is guidance to the reality.

Inna AAalayna lalhuda

وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْآخِرَةَ وَالْأُولَىٰ

And indeed, to Us belongs the eternal life to come and the present one!

Wa-inna lana lal-akhirata waal-oola

فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ

I have warned you of a blazing Fire.

Faanthartukum naran talaththa

لَا يَصْلَاهَا إِلَّا الْأَشْقَى

Only the most unfortunate will be subjected to it.

La yaslaha illa al-ashqa

الَّذِي كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ

Who had denied and turned away (from his essence)!

Allathee kaththaba watawalla

وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا الْأَتْقَى

But the one who sought protection will be kept away from it.

Wasayujannabuha al-atqa

الَّذِي يُؤْتِي مَالَهُ يَتَزَكَّىٰ

The one who spends his wealth on others to become purified (rather than hoarding),

Allathee yu/tee malahu yatazakka

وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰ

And he does this not for a return (nor as the return for anything)!

Wama li-ahadin AAindahu min niAAmatin tujza

إِلَّا ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ الْأَعْلَىٰ

Only for the sake of the countenance of his Rabb, the Most High!

Illa ibtighaa wajhi rabbihi al-aAAla

وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ

And indeed, he will be pleased!
