1By the night enshrouding

2And the day resplendent

3And Him Who hath created male and female

4Lo! your effort is dispersed (toward divers ends)

5As for him who giveth and is dutiful (toward Allah)

6And believeth in goodness

7Surely We will ease his way unto the state of ease

8But as for him who hoardeth and deemeth himself independent

9And disbelieveth in goodness

10Surely We will ease his way unto adversity

11His riches will not save him when he perisheth

12Lo! Ours it is (to give) the guidance

13And lo! unto Us belong the latter portion and the former

14Therefor have I warned you of the flaming Fire

15Which only the most wretched must endure

16He who denieth and turneth away

17Far removed from it will be the righteous

18Who giveth his wealth that he may grow (in goodness)

19And none hath with him any favour for reward

20Except as seeking (to fulfil) the purpose of his Lord Most High

21He verily will be content
