بِسْمِ ٱللَّـهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ |  | In the name of God, the Almighty,1 the Merciful.
وَٱلْفَجْرِ |  | 892 1 By the dawn,1
وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ |  | 2 And ten nights,1
وَٱلشَّفْعِ وَٱلْوَتْرِ |  | 3 And the even and the odd,
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ |  | 4 And the night when he1 departs!2
هَلْ فِى ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِّذِى حِجْرٍ |  | 5 Is there not in that an oath for one of intelligence?1
أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ |  | 6 Hast thou not considered1 how thy Lord did with ʿĀd,
إِرَمَ ذَاتِ ٱلْعِمَادِ |  | 7 Iram of the pillars,
ٱلَّتِى لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِى ٱلْبِلَـٰدِ |  | 8 The like of which had never been created in the land,
وَثَمُودَ ٱلَّذِينَ جَابُوا۟ ٱلصَّخْرَ بِٱلْوَادِ |  | 9 And Thamūd who hollowed the rocks in the valley,
وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِى ٱلْأَوْتَادِ |  | 10 And Pharaoh,1 the Lord of Stakes
ٱلَّذِينَ طَغَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْبِلَـٰدِ |  | 11 Who transgressed all bounds in the lands,
فَأَكْثَرُوا۟ فِيهَا ٱلْفَسَادَ |  | 12 And increased corruption therein?
فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ |  | 13 So thy Lord poured upon them a scourge of punishment.
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِٱلْمِرْصَادِ |  | 14 Thy Lord is ever watchful.1
فَأَمَّا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَأَكْرَمَهُۥ وَنَعَّمَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَكْرَمَنِ |  | 15 And as for man, when his Lord tries him, and honours him, and favours him, he says: “My Lord has honoured me.”
وَأَمَّآ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَهَـٰنَنِ |  | 16 But when He tries him, and straitens his provision, he says: “My Lord has humiliated me.”
كَلَّا بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ ٱلْيَتِيمَ |  | 17 No, indeed!1 The truth is,2 you honour not the fatherless,3
وَلَا تَحَـٰٓضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ |  | 18 Nor encourage one another to feed the needy,
وَتَأْكُلُونَ ٱلتُّرَاثَ أَكْلًا لَّمًّا |  | 19 But consume the inheritance with greed,1
وَتُحِبُّونَ ٱلْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا |  | 20 And love wealth with much love.
كَلَّآ إِذَا دُكَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا |  | 21 No, indeed!1 When the earth is ground to powder,2
وَجَآءَ رَبُّكَ وَٱلْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا |  | 22 And thy Lord comes — and the angels, rank upon rank —
وَجِا۟ىٓءَ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِجَهَنَّمَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ |  | 23 And Gehenna, that day, is brought: that day will man take heed; but how will the reminder be for him?
يَقُولُ يَـٰلَيْتَنِى قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِى |  | 24 He will say: “Would that I had sent ahead for my life!”
فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ |  | 25 And — that day — none will punish as His punishment,
وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ |  | 26 And none will bind as His binding.
يَـٰٓأَيَّتُهَا ٱلنَّفْسُ ٱلْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ |  | 27 “O thou soul at peace:
ٱرْجِعِىٓ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرْضِيَّةً |  | 28 “Return thou to thy Lord — well-pleased and well-pleasing,
فَٱدْخُلِى فِى عِبَـٰدِى |  | 29 “And enter thou among My servants.
وَٱدْخُلِى جَنَّتِى |  | 30 “And enter thou My garden.”
