| 1. * | By the night when it draws a veil! |
| 2. * | And the day when it shines! |
| 3. * | And the creating of the male and the female! -- |
| 4. * | Your striving is surely (for) diverse (ends). |
| 5. * | Then as for him who gives and keeps his duty, |
| 6. * | And accepts what is good -- |
| 7. * | We facilitate for him (the way to) ease. |
| 8. * | And as for him who is niggardly and considers himself self-sufficient, |
| 9. * | And rejects what is good -- |
| 10. * | We facilitate for him (the way to) distress. |
| 11. * | And his wealth will not avail him when he perishes. |
| 12. * | Surely Ours is it to show the way, |
| 13. * | And surely Ours is the Hereafter and the former. |
| 14. * | So I warn you of the Fire that flames. |
| 15. * | None will enter it but the most unfortunate, |
| 16. * | Who rejects (the truth) and turns (his) back. |
| 17. * | And away from it shall be kept the most faithful to duty, |
| 18. * | Who gives his wealth, purifying himself, |
| 19. * | And none has with him any boon for a reward, |
| 20. * | Except the seeking of the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High. |
| 21. * | And he will soon be well-pleased. |
