[1] By the Night as it conceals (the light);
[2] By the Day as it appears in glory;
[3] By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female;-
[4] Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse.
[5] So he who gives (in charity) and fears (Allah),
[6] And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best,-
[7] We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss.
[8] But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient,
[9] And gives the lie to the best,-
[10] We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery;
[11] Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit).
[12] Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide,
[13] And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning.
[14] Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely;
[15] None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones
[16] Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs.
[17] But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it,-
[18] Those who spend their wealth for increase in self-purification,
[19] And have in their minds no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return,
[20] But only the desire to seek for the Countenance of their Lord Most High;
[21] And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction.
