وَٱلۡفَجۡرِ
Waalfajri
By the dawn
وَلَيَالٍ عَشۡرٖ
Walayalin AAashrin
And [by] ten nights
وَٱلشَّفۡعِ وَٱلۡوَتۡرِ
WaalshshafAAi waalwatri
And [by] the even [number] and the odd
وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذَا يَسۡرِ
Waallayli itha yasri
And [by] the night when it passes
هَلۡ فِي ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٞ لِّذِي حِجۡرٍ
Hal fee thalika qasamun lithee hijrin
Is there [not] in [all] that an oath [sufficient] for one of perception
أَلَمۡ تَرَ كَيۡفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ
Alam tara kayfa faAAala rabbuka biAAadin
Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with 'Aad
إِرَمَ ذَاتِ ٱلۡعِمَادِ
Irama thati alAAimadi
[With] Iram - who had lofty pillars
ٱلَّتِي لَمۡ يُخۡلَقۡ مِثۡلُهَا فِي ٱلۡبِلَٰدِ
Allatee lam yukhlaq mithluha fee albiladi
The likes of whom had never been created in the land
وَثَمُودَ ٱلَّذِينَ جَابُواْ ٱلصَّخۡرَ بِٱلۡوَادِ
Wathamooda allatheena jaboo alssakhra bialwadi
And [with] Thamud, who carved out the rocks in the valley
وَفِرۡعَوۡنَ ذِي ٱلۡأَوۡتَادِ
WafirAAawna thee alawtadi
And [with] Pharaoh, owner of the stakes
ٱلَّذِينَ طَغَوۡاْ فِي ٱلۡبِلَٰدِ
Allatheena taghaw fee albiladi
[All of] whom oppressed within the lands
فَأَكۡثَرُواْ فِيهَا ٱلۡفَسَادَ
Faaktharoo feeha alfasada
And increased therein the corruption
فَصَبَّ عَلَيۡهِمۡ رَبُّكَ سَوۡطَ عَذَابٍ
Fasabba AAalayhim rabbuka sawta AAathabin
So your Lord poured upon them a scourge of punishment
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِٱلۡمِرۡصَادِ
Inna rabbaka labialmirsadi
Indeed, your Lord is in observation
فَأَمَّا ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ إِذَا مَا ٱبۡتَلَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَأَكۡرَمَهُۥ وَنَعَّمَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّيٓ أَكۡرَمَنِ
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
وَأَمَّآ إِذَا مَا ٱبۡتَلَىٰهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيۡهِ رِزۡقَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّيٓ أَهَٰنَنِ
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
كَلَّاۖ بَل لَّا تُكۡرِمُونَ ٱلۡيَتِيمَ
Kalla bal la tukrimoona alyateema
No! But you do not honor the orphan
وَلَا تَحَـٰٓضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلۡمِسۡكِينِ
Wala tahaddoona AAala taAAami almiskeeni
And you do not encourage one another to feed the poor
وَتَأۡكُلُونَ ٱلتُّرَاثَ أَكۡلٗا لَّمّٗا
Watakuloona altturatha aklan lamman
And you consume inheritance, devouring [it] altogether
وَتُحِبُّونَ ٱلۡمَالَ حُبّٗا جَمّٗا
Watuhibboona almala hubban jamman
And you love wealth with immense love
