| 1. * | By the night enshrouding |
| 2. * | And the day resplendent |
| 3. * | And Him Who hath created male and female, |
| 4. * | Lo! your effort is dispersed (toward divers ends). |
| 5. * | As for him who giveth and is dutiful (toward Allah) |
| 6. * | And believeth in goodness; |
| 7. * | Surely We will ease his way unto the state of ease. |
| 8. * | But as for him who hoardeth and deemeth himself independent, |
| 9. * | And disbelieveth in goodness; |
| 10. * | Surely We will ease his way unto adversity. |
| 11. * | His riches will not save him when he perisheth. |
| 12. * | Lo! Ours it is (to give) the guidance |
| 13. * | And lo! unto Us belong the latter portion and the former. |
| 14. * | Therefor have I warned you of the flaming Fire |
| 15. * | Which only the most wretched must endure, |
| 16. * | He who denieth and turneth away. |
| 17. * | Far removed from it will be the righteous |
| 18. * | Who giveth his wealth that he may grow (in goodness). |
| 19. * | And none hath with him any favour for reward, |
| 20. * | Except as seeking (to fulfil) the purpose of his Lord Most High. |
| 21. * | He verily will be content. |
