The Night — Mohammad Shafi Translation – Parallel Quran

1 The Night

وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ

By the night as it veils

Waallayli itha yaghsha

وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ

And by the day as it unveils

Waalnnahari itha tajalla

وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَىٰ

And by the Power that created the male and the female

Wama khalaqa alththakara waal-ontha

إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ

Indeed, your [mankind's] work is in divergent fields of activity

Inna saAAyakum lashatta

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَاتَّقَىٰ

And, he who gave [things in Allah's Path] and feared Him

Faamma man aAAta waittaqa

وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ

And stood firmly by what was good and right

Wasaddaqa bialhusna

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ

For him shall We make things easy

Fasanuyassiruhu lilyusra

وَأَمَّا مَن بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَىٰ

And he who was miserly [in giving things in Allah's Path], and considered that he needed no divine help

Waamma man bakhila waistaghna

وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ

And belied what was good and right

Wakaththaba bialhusna

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ

For him shall We make things difficult

Fasanuyassiruhu lilAAusra

وَمَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُ مَالُهُ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰ

And his wealth shall avail him not when he drops dead

Wama yughnee AAanhu maluhu itha taradda

إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ

It is certainly indeed for Us to give the guidance

Inna AAalayna lalhuda

وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْآخِرَةَ وَالْأُولَىٰ

And, certainly indeed, the Dominion over both the Hereafter and the present world is Ours

Wa-inna lana lal-akhirata waal-oola

فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ

I then warn you of the flaming Fir

Faanthartukum naran talaththa

لَا يَصْلَاهَا إِلَّا الْأَشْقَى

None shall burn in it [the Fire] but the wicked person

La yaslaha illa al-ashqa

الَّذِي كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ

He who belies the Truth and turns away [from it]

Allathee kaththaba watawalla

وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا الْأَتْقَى

And, he will be distanced from it [Fire] who fears Allah

Wasayujannabuha al-atqa

الَّذِي يُؤْتِي مَالَهُ يَتَزَكَّىٰ

He who spends his wealth [on others] to keep himself pure

Allathee yu/tee malahu yatazakka

وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰ

— And he has none with him to be recompensed of favours received —

Wama li-ahadin AAindahu min niAAmatin tujza

إِلَّا ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ الْأَعْلَىٰ

And he spends for nothing but to seek the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High

Illa ibtighaa wajhi rabbihi al-aAAla

وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ

And such persons, certainly, shall in time be well-pleased
