لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى﴿١٥﴾

Which only the most wretched must endure,

ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ﴿١٦﴾

He who denieth and turneth away.

وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى﴿١٧﴾

Far removed from it will be the righteous

ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ﴿١٨﴾

Who giveth his wealth that he may grow (in goodness).

وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰٓ﴿١٩﴾

And none hath with him any favour for reward,

إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ﴿٢٠﴾

Except as seeking (to fulfil) the purpose of his Lord Most High.

وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ﴿٢١﴾

He verily will be content.

وَٱلضُّحَىٰ﴿١﴾

By the morning hours

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ﴿٢﴾

And by the night when it is stillest,

مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ﴿٣﴾

Thy Lord hath not forsaken thee nor doth He hate thee,

وَلَلْـَٔاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ﴿٤﴾

And verily the latter portion will be better for thee than the former,

وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰٓ﴿٥﴾

And verily thy Lord will give unto thee so that thou wilt be content.

أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَـَٔاوَىٰ﴿٦﴾

Did He not find thee an orphan and protect (thee)?

وَوَجَدَكَ ضَآلًّا فَهَدَىٰ﴿٧﴾

Did He not find thee wandering and direct (thee)?

وَوَجَدَكَ عَآئِلًا فَأَغْنَىٰ﴿٨﴾

Did He not find thee destitute and enrich (thee)?

فَأَمَّا ٱلْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ﴿٩﴾

Therefor the orphan oppress not,

وَأَمَّا ٱلسَّآئِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ﴿١٠﴾

Therefor the beggar drive not away,

وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ﴿١١﴾

Therefor of the bounty of thy Lord be thy discourse.

أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ﴿١﴾

Have We not caused thy bosom to dilate,

وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ﴿٢﴾

And eased thee of the burden

ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ﴿٣﴾

Which weighed down thy back;

وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ﴿٤﴾

And exalted thy fame?

فَإِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا﴿٥﴾

But lo! with hardship goeth ease,

إِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا﴿٦﴾

Lo! with hardship goeth ease;

فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَٱنصَبْ﴿٧﴾

So when thou art relieved, still toil

وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَٱرْغَب﴿٨﴾

And strive to please thy Lord.
