[1] I swear by the night when it draws a veil,
[2] And the day when it shines in brightness,
[3] And the creating of the male and the female,
[4] Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (ends).
[5] Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil),
[6] And accepts the best,
[7] We will facilitate for him the easy end.
[8] And as for him who is niggardly and considers himself free from need (of Allah),
[9] And rejects the best,
[10] We will facilitate for him the difficult end.
[11] And his wealth will not avail him when he perishes.
[12] Surely Ours is it to show the way,
[13] And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former.
[14] Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames:
[15] None shall enter it but the most unhappy,
[16] Who gives the lie (to the truth) and turns (his) back.
[17] And away from it shall be kept the one who guards most (against evil),
[18] Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself
[19] And no one has with him any boon for which he should be rewarded,
[20] Except the seeking of the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High.
[21] And he shall soon be well-pleased.
