y_ali
 
1.  *     By the Night as it conceals (the light);
 
2.  *     By the Day as it appears in glory;
 
3.  *     By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female;-
 
4.  *     Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse.
 
5.  *     So he who gives (in charity) and fears ((Allah)),
 
6.  *     And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best,-
 
7.  *     We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss.
 
8.  *     But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient,
 
9.  *     And gives the lie to the best,-
 
10.  *     We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery;
 
11.  *     Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit).
 
12.  *     Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide,
 
13.  *     And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning.
 
14.  *     Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely;
 
15.  *     None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones
 
16.  *     Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs.
 
17.  *     But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it,-
 
18.  *     Those who spend their wealth for increase in self-purification,
 
19.  *     And have in their minds no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return,
 
20.  *     But only the desire to seek for the Countenance of their Lord Most High;
 
21.  *     And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction.
