By the night when it covers,

and the day when it shines!

By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female;-

Surely the ends you strive for are diverse.

As for the one who is charitable, mindful ˹of Allah˺,

and ˹firmly˺ believes in the finest reward,

We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss.

But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient,

And gives the lie to the best,-

We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery;

Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit).

It is certainly upon Us ˹alone˺ to show ˹the way to˺ guidance.

And surely to Us ˹alone˺ belong this life and the next.

Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely;

in which none will burn except the most wretched—

Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs.

But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it,-

Those who spend their wealth for increase in self-purification,

And have in their minds no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return,

but seeking the pleasure of their Lord, the Most High.

And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction.
