Holy Quran > English Translation > 92- Al-Layl (The Night)

 1 . By the night enshrouding

 2 . And the day resplendent

 3 . And Him Who hath created male and female ,

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

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

 6 . And believeth in goodness ;

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

 8 . But as for him who hoardeth and deemeth himself independent ,

 9 . And disbelieveth in goodness ;

 10 . Surely We will ease his way unto adversity .

 11 . His riches will not save him when he perisheth .

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

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

 14 . Therefor have I warned you of the flaming Fire

 15 . Which only the most wretched must endure ,

 16 . He who denieth and turneth away .

 17 . Far removed from it will be the righteous

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

 19 . And none hath with him any favor for reward ,

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

 21 . He verily will be content .
