بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلْفَجْرِ
CONSIDER the daybreak
-
وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍۢ
and the ten nights!
-
وَٱلشَّفْعِ وَٱلْوَتْرِ
Consider the multiple and the One!
-
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ
Consider the night as it runs its course!
-
هَلْ فِى ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٌۭ لِّذِى حِجْرٍ
Considering all this - could there be, to anyone endowed with reason, a [more] solemn evidence of the truth?
-
أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ
ART THOU NOT aware of how thy Sustainer has dealt with [the tribe of] ‘Ad,
-
إِرَمَ ذَاتِ ٱلْعِمَادِ
[the people of] Iram the many-pillared,
-
ٱلَّتِى لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِى ٱلْبِلَٰدِ
the like of whom has never been reared in all the land? –
-
وَثَمُودَ ٱلَّذِينَ جَابُوا۟ ٱلصَّخْرَ بِٱلْوَادِ
and with [the tribe of] Thamud, who hollowed out rocks in the valley? –
-
وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِى ٱلْأَوْتَادِ
and with Pharaoh of the [many] tent-poles?
-
ٱلَّذِينَ طَغَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْبِلَٰدِ
[It was they] who transgressed all bounds of equity all over their lands,
-
فَأَكْثَرُوا۟ فِيهَا ٱلْفَسَادَ
and brought about great corruption therein:
-
فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ
and therefore thy Sustainer let loose upon them a scourge of suffering:
-
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِٱلْمِرْصَادِ
for, verily, thy Sustainer is ever on the watch!
-
فَأَمَّا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَأَكْرَمَهُۥ وَنَعَّمَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَكْرَمَنِ
BUT AS FOR man, whenever his Sustainer tries him by His generosity and by letting him enjoy a life of ease, he says, "My Sustainer has been [justly] generous towards me";
-
وَأَمَّآ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَهَٰنَنِ
whereas, whenever He tries him by straitening his means of livelihood, he says, "My Sustainer has disgraced me!"
-
كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ ٱلْيَتِيمَ
But nay, nay, [O men, consider all that you do and fail to do:] you are not generous towards the orphan,
-
وَلَا تَحَٰٓضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ
and you do not urge one another to feed the needy,
-
وَتَأْكُلُونَ ٱلتُّرَاثَ أَكْلًۭا لَّمًّۭا
and you devour the inheritance [of others] with devouring greed,
-
وَتُحِبُّونَ ٱلْمَالَ حُبًّۭا جَمًّۭا
and you love wealth with boundless love!
-
كَلَّآ إِذَا دُكَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ دَكًّۭا دَكًّۭا
Nay, but [how will you fare on Judgment Day,] when the earth is crushed with crushing upon crushing,
-
وَجَآءَ رَبُّكَ وَٱلْمَلَكُ صَفًّۭا صَفًّۭا
and [the majesty of] thy Sustainer stands revealed, as well as [the true nature of] the angels; rank upon rank?
-
وَجِا۟ىٓءَ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِجَهَنَّمَ ۚ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ
And on that Day hell will be brought [within sight]; on that Day man will remember [all that he did and failed to do]: but what will that remembrance avail him?
-
يَقُولُ يَٰلَيْتَنِى قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِى
He will say, "Oh, would that I had. provided beforehand for my life [to come]!"
-
فَيَوْمَئِذٍۢ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌۭ
For, none can make suffer as He will make suffer [the sinners] on that Day,
-
وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌۭ
and none can bind with bonds like His.
-
يَٰٓأَيَّتُهَا ٱلنَّفْسُ ٱلْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ
[But unto the righteous God will say,] "O thou human being that hast attained to inner peace!
-
ٱرْجِعِىٓ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةًۭ مَّرْضِيَّةًۭ
Return thou unto thy Sustainer, well-pleased [and] pleasing [Him]:
-
فَٱدْخُلِى فِى عِبَٰدِى
enter, then, together with My [other true] servants –
-
وَٱدْخُلِى جَنَّتِى
yea, enter thou My paradise!"
