| 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. |
