Al-Fajr

Waalfajri

By the dawn

Walayalin AAashrin

And [by] ten nights

WaalshshafAAi waalwatri

And [by] the even [number] and the odd

Waallayli itha yasri

And [by] the night when it passes

Hal fee thalika qasamun lithee hijrin

Is there [not] in [all] that an oath [sufficient] for one of perception

Alam tara kayfa faAAala rabbuka biAAadin

Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with 'Aad

Irama thati alAAimadi

[With] Iram - who had lofty pillars

Allatee lam yukhlaq mithluha fee albiladi

The likes of whom had never been created in the land

Wathamooda allatheena jaboo alssakhra bialwadi

And [with] Thamud, who carved out the rocks in the valley

WafirAAawna thee alawtadi

And [with] Pharaoh, owner of the stakes

Allatheena taghaw fee albiladi

[All of] whom oppressed within the lands

Faaktharoo feeha alfasada

And increased therein the corruption

Fasabba AAalayhim rabbuka sawta AAathabin

So your Lord poured upon them a scourge of punishment

Inna rabbaka labialmirsadi

Indeed, your Lord is in observation

Faamma alinsanu itha ma ibtalahu rabbuhu faakramahu wanaAAAAamahu fayaqoolu rabbee akramani

And as for man, when his Lord tries him and [thus] is generous to him and favors him, he says, "My Lord has honored me

Waamma itha ma ibtalahu faqadara AAalayhi rizqahu fayaqoolu rabbee ahanani

But when He tries him and restricts his provision, he says, "My Lord has humiliated me

Kalla bal la tukrimoona alyateema

No! But you do not honor the orphan

Wala tahaddoona AAala taAAami almiskeeni

And you do not encourage one another to feed the poor

Watakuloona altturatha aklan lamman

And you consume inheritance, devouring [it] altogether

Watuhibboona almala hubban jamman

And you love wealth with immense love

Kalla itha dukkati alardu dakkan dakkan

No! When the earth has been leveled - pounded and crushed

Wajaa rabbuka waalmalaku saffan saffan

And your Lord has come and the angels, rank upon rank

Wajeea yawmaithin bijahannama yawmaithin yatathakkaru alinsanu waanna lahu alththikra

And brought [within view], that Day, is Hell - that Day, man will remember, but what good to him will be the remembrance

Yaqoolu ya laytanee qaddamtu lihayatee

He will say, "Oh, I wish I had sent ahead [some good] for my life

Fayawmaithin la yuAAaththibu AAathabahu ahadun

So on that Day, none will punish [as severely] as His punishment

Wala yoothiqu wathaqahu ahadun

And none will bind [as severely] as His binding [of the evildoers]

Ya ayyatuha alnnafsu almutmainnatu

[To the righteous it will be said], "O reassured soul

IrjiAAee ila rabbiki radiyatan mardiyyatan

Return to your Lord, well-pleased and pleasing [to Him]

Faodkhulee fee AAibadee

And enter among My [righteous] servants

Waodkhulee jannatee

And enter My Paradise
