Al-Layl

وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذَا يَغۡشَىٰ ١

By the night when it covers1

وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ ٢

And [by] the day when it appears

وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلۡأُنثَىٰٓ ٣

And [by] He who created the male and female,

إِنَّ سَعۡيَكُمۡ لَشَتَّىٰ ٤

Indeed, your efforts are diverse.

فَأَمَّا مَنۡ أَعۡطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ ٥

As for he who gives and fears Allāh

وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ ٦

And believes in the best [reward].

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلۡيُسۡرَىٰ ٧

We will ease him toward ease.

وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسۡتَغۡنَىٰ ٨

But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need

وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ ٩

And denies the best [reward],

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلۡعُسۡرَىٰ ١٠

We will ease him toward difficulty.

وَمَا يُغۡنِي عَنۡهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ ١١

And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?1

إِنَّ عَلَيۡنَا لَلۡهُدَىٰ ١٢

Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.
