92. Al-Lail - The Night
| 1 | By the night enshrouding |
| 2 | and the day in splendour |
| 3 | and That which created the male and the female, |
| 4 | surely your striving is to diverse ends. |
| 5 | As for him who gives and is godfearing |
| 6 | and confirms the reward most fair, |
| 7 | We shall surely ease him to the Easing. |
| 8 | But as for him who is a miser, and self-sufficient, |
| 9 | and cries lies to the reward most fair, |
| 10 | We shall surely ease him to the Hardship; |
| 11 | his wealth shall not avail him when he perishes. |
| 12 | Surely upon Us rests the guidance, |
| 13 | and to Us belong the Last and the First. |
| 14 | Now I have warned you of a Fire that flames, |
| 15 | whereat none but the most wretched shall be roasted, |
| 16 | even he who cried lies, and turned away; |
| 17 | and from which the most godfearing shall be removed, |
| 18 | even he who gives his wealth. to purify himself |
| 19 | and confers no favour on any man for recompense, |
| 20 | only seeking the Face of his Lord the Most High; |
| 21 | and he shall surely be satisfied. |
