وَٱلْفَجْرِ۝١

1I swear by the daybreak,

وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ۝٢

2And the ten nights,

وَٱلشَّفْعِ وَٱلْوَتْرِ۝٣

3And the even and the odd,

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ۝٤

4And the night when it departs.

هَلْ فِى ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِّذِى حِجْرٍ۝٥

5Truly in that there is an oath for those who possess understanding.

أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ۝٦

6Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with Ad,

إِرَمَ ذَاتِ ٱلْعِمَادِ۝٧

7(The people of) Aram, possessors of lofty buildings,

ٱلَّتِى لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِى ٱلْبِلَٰدِ۝٨

8The like of which were not created in the (other) cities;

وَثَمُودَ ٱلَّذِينَ جَابُوا۟ ٱلصَّخْرَ بِٱلْوَادِ۝٩

9And (with) Samood, who hewed out the rocks in the valley,

وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِى ٱلْأَوْتَادِ۝١٠

10And (with) Firon, the lord of hosts,

ٱلَّذِينَ طَغَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْبِلَٰدِ۝١١

11Who committed inordinacy in the cities,

فَأَكْثَرُوا۟ فِيهَا ٱلْفَسَادَ۝١٢

12So they made great mischief therein?

فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ۝١٣

13Therefore your Lord let down upon them a portion of the chastisement.

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِٱلْمِرْصَادِ۝١٤

14Most surely your Lord is watching.

فَأَمَّا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَأَكْرَمَهُۥ وَنَعَّمَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَكْرَمَنِ۝١٥

15And as for man, when his Lord tries him, then treats him with honor and makes him lead an easy life, he says: My Lord honors me.

وَأَمَّآ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَهَٰنَنِ۝١٦

16But when He tries him (differently), then straitens to him his means of subsistence, he says: My Lord has disgraced me.

كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ ٱلْيَتِيمَ۝١٧

17Nay! but you do not honor the orphan,

وَلَا تَحَٰٓضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ۝١٨

18Nor do you urge one another to feed the poor,

وَتَأْكُلُونَ ٱلتُّرَاثَ أَكْلًا لَّمًّا۝١٩

19And you eat away the heritage, devouring (everything) indiscriminately,

وَتُحِبُّونَ ٱلْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا۝٢٠

20And you love wealth with exceeding love.

كَلَّآ إِذَا دُكَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا۝٢١

21Nay! when the earth is made to crumble to pieces,

وَجَآءَ رَبُّكَ وَٱلْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا۝٢٢

22And your Lord comes and (also) the angels in ranks,

وَجِا۟ىٓءَ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِجَهَنَّمَ ۚ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ۝٢٣

23And hell is made to appear on that day. On that day shall man be mindful, and what shall being mindful (then) avail him?

يَقُولُ يَٰلَيْتَنِى قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِى۝٢٤

24He shall say: O! would that I had sent before for (this) my life!

فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ۝٢٥

25But on that day shall no one chastise with (anything like) His chastisement,

وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ۝٢٦

26And no one shall bind with (anything like) His binding.

يَٰٓأَيَّتُهَا ٱلنَّفْسُ ٱلْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ۝٢٧

27O soul that art at rest!

ٱرْجِعِىٓ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرْضِيَّةً۝٢٨

28Return to your Lord, well-pleased (with him), well-pleasing (Him),

فَٱدْخُلِى فِى عِبَٰدِى۝٢٩

29So enter among My servants,

وَٱدْخُلِى جَنَّتِى۝٣٠

30And enter into My garden.
