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.
