вəəльфəджр

By the Dawn,

وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ٢

вəлəйəəлин 'əшр

by the ten nights,

وَٱلشَّفْعِ وَٱلْوَتْرِ٣

вə шшəф'и вəəльвəтр

by the Even and the Odd,

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ٤

вə льлэйли из̃əə йəср

by the night when it departs!

هَلْ فِى ذَٲلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِّذِى حِجْرٍ٥

həль фии з̃əəликə ќōсəмул-лиз̃ии hиджр

Is there an oath in that for one possessing intellect?

أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ٦

əлəм тəрō кəйфə фə'əлə рōббукə би'əəд

Have you not regarded how your Lord dealt with [the people of] ‘Ad,

إِرَمَ ذَاتِ ٱلْعِمَادِ٧

ирōмə з̃əəтиль-'имəəд

[and] Iram, [the city] of the pillars,

ٱلَّتِى لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِى ٱلْبِلَـٰدِ٨

əльлəтии лəм йухлəќ миc̃люhəə фииль-билəəд

the like of which was not created among cities,

وَثَمُودَ ٱلَّذِينَ جَابُواْ ٱلصَّخْرَ بِٱلْوَادِ٩

вəc̃əмуудə льлəз̃иинə джəəбуу ссōхрō биль-вəəд

and [the people of] Thamud, who hollowed out the rocks in the valley,

وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِى ٱلْأَوْتَادِ١٠

вəфир'əунə з̃ииль-əутəəд

and Pharaoh, the impaler

ٱلَّذِينَ طَغَوْاْ فِى ٱلْبِلَـٰدِ١١

əль-лəз̃иинə т̣ōґōу фииль-билəəд

—those who rebelled [against Allah] in their cities

فَأَكْثَرُواْ فِيهَا ٱلْفَسَادَ١٢

фəəкc̃əруу фииhəəль-фəсəəд

and caused much corruption in them,

فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ١٣

фəсōббə 'əлэйhим рōббукə сəут̣ō 'əз̃əəб

so your Lord poured on them lashes of punishment.

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِٱلْمِرْصَادِ١٤

иннə рōббəкə лəбиль-мирсōōд

Indeed your Lord is in ambush.

فَأَمَّا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَـٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَأَكْرَمَهُۥ وَنَعَّمَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَكْرَمَنِ١٥

фəəммəəль-иӈсəəну из̃əə мəə-бтəлəəhу рōббуhу фəəкрōмəhу вəнə''əмəhу фəйəќуулю рōббии əкрōмəн

As for man, whenever his Lord tests him, and grants him honour, and blesses him, he says, ‘My Lord has honoured me.’

وَأَمَّآ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَـٰهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَهَـٰنَنِ١٦

вəəммəə из̃əə мəə-бтəлəəhу фəќōдəрō 'əлэйhи ризќōhу фəйəќуулю рōббии əhəəнəн

But when He tests him and tightens for him his provision, he says, ‘My Lord has humiliated me.’

كَلَّا‌ۖ بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ ٱلْيَتِيمَ١٧

кəльлəə, бəль-лəə тукримуунəль-йəтиим

No indeed! No, you do not honour the orphan,

وَلَا تَحَـٰٓضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ١٨

вəлəə тəhəəддуунə 'əлəə т̣ō'əəмиль-мискиин

and do not urge the feeding of the needy.

وَتَأْكُلُونَ ٱلتُّرَاثَ أَكْلاً لَّمًّا١٩

вəтəкулююнə ттурōōc̃ə əклəль-лəммə

You eat the inheritance rapaciously,

وَتُحِبُّونَ ٱلْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا٢٠

вəтуhиббуунəль-мəəлə hуббəн джəммə

and love wealth with much fondness.

كَلَّآ إِذَا دُكَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا٢١

кəльлəə из̃əə дуккəтиль-əрду дəккəн дəккə

No indeed! When the earth is levelled to a plain,

وَجَآءَ رَبُّكَ وَٱلْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا٢٢

вəджəə'ə рōббукə вəəльмəлəку сōффəн сōффə

and your Lord [’s edict] arrives with the angels in ranks,

وَجِاْىٓءَ يَوْمَئِذِۭ بِجَهَنَّمَ‌ۚ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ٢٣

вəджии'ə йəумə'из̃имм-биджəhəннəм, йəумə'из̃ий-йəтəз̃əккəруль-иӈсəəну вəəннəə лəhу з̃з̃икрōō

the day when hell is brought [near], man will take admonition on that day, but what will that admonition avail him?

يَقُولُ يَـٰلَيْتَنِى قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِى٢٤

йəќуулю йəə лэйтəнии ќōддəмту лиhəйəəтий

He will say, ‘Alas, had I sent ahead for my life [in the Hereafter]!’

فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ٢٥

фəйəумə'из̃иль-лəə йу'əз̃з̃ибу 'əз̃əəбəhу əhəд

On that day none shall punish as He punishes,

وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ٢٦

вəлəə йууc̃иќу вəc̃əəќōhу əhəд

and none shall bind as He binds.

يَـٰٓأَيَّتُهَا ٱلنَّفْسُ ٱلْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ٢٧

йəə əййəтуhəə ннəфсуль-мут̣мə'иннəh

‘O soul at peace!

ٱرْجِعِىٓ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرْضِيَّةً٢٨

ирджи'ии илəə рōббики рōōдыйəтəмм-мəрдыййəh

Return to your Lord, pleased and pleasing!

فَٱدْخُلِى فِى عِبَـٰدِى٢٩

фəəдхулии фии 'ибəəдий

Then enter among My servants,

وَٱدْخُلِى جَنَّتِى٣٠

вəəдхулии джəннəтий

and enter My paradise!’
