The Night — Sher Ali Translation – Parallel Quran

1 The Night

وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ

By the night when it covers up

Waallayli itha yaghsha

وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ

And by the day when it shines forth

Waalnnahari itha tajalla

وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَىٰ

And by the creation of the male and the female

Wama khalaqa alththakara waal-ontha

إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ

Surely, your strivings are diverse

Inna saAAyakum lashatta

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَاتَّقَىٰ

Then as for him who gives for the cause of ALLAH and is righteous

Faamma man aAAta waittaqa

وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ

And testifies to the truth of what is right

Wasaddaqa bialhusna

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ

WE will provide for him every facility for good

Fasanuyassiruhu lilyusra

وَأَمَّا مَن بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَىٰ

But as for him who is niggardly and is disdainfully indifferent

Waamma man bakhila waistaghna

وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ

And rejects what is right

Wakaththaba bialhusna

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ

WE will make easy for him the path to distress

Fasanuyassiruhu lilAAusra

وَمَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُ مَالُهُ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰ

And his wealth shall not avail him when he perishes

Wama yughnee AAanhu maluhu itha taradda

إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ

Surely, it is for US to guide

Inna AAalayna lalhuda

وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْآخِرَةَ وَالْأُولَىٰ

And to US belongs the Hereafter as well as the present world

Wa-inna lana lal-akhirata waal-oola

فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ

So I warn you of a blazing Fire

Faanthartukum naran talaththa

لَا يَصْلَاهَا إِلَّا الْأَشْقَى

None shall enter it but the most wicked one

La yaslaha illa al-ashqa

الَّذِي كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ

Who rejects the truth and turns his back on it

Allathee kaththaba watawalla

وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا الْأَتْقَى

But the righteous one shall be kept away from it

Wasayujannabuha al-atqa

الَّذِي يُؤْتِي مَالَهُ يَتَزَكَّىٰ

Who gives his wealth that he may be purified

Allathee yu/tee malahu yatazakka

وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰ

And not because he owes a favour to anyone, which is to be repaid

Wama li-ahadin AAindahu min niAAmatin tujza

إِلَّا ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ الْأَعْلَىٰ

But solely to seek the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High

Illa ibtighaa wajhi rabbihi al-aAAla

وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ

Surely, will HE be well-pleased with him
