In the name of Allah, All-Merciful, Most Merciful

هَلْ اَتٰى عَلَى الْاِنْسَانِ ح۪ينٌ مِنَ الدَّهْرِ لَمْ يَكُنْ شَيْـٔاً مَذْكُوراً

Hal ata AAala al-insani heenunmina addahri lam yakun shay-an mathkoora

Has man ever known a point of time when he was not something remembered?

اِنَّا خَلَقْنَا الْاِنْسَانَ مِنْ نُطْفَةٍ اَمْشَاجٍۗ نَبْتَل۪يهِ فَجَعَلْنَاهُ سَم۪يعاً بَص۪يراً

Inna khalaqna al-insanamin nutfatin amshajin nabtaleehi fajaAAalnahusameeAAan baseera

Inna hadaynahu assabeelaimma shakiran wa-imma kafoora

We guided him on the Way, whether he is thankful or unthankful.

Inna aAAtadna lilkafireenasalasila waaghlalan wasaAAeera

We have made ready for the kafirun shackles and chains and a Searing Blaze.

اِنَّ الْاَبْرَارَ يَشْرَبُونَ مِنْ كَأْسٍ كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا كَافُوراًۚ

Inna al-abrara yashraboona min ka/sinkana mizajuha kafoora

The truly good will drink from a cup mixed with the coolness of camphor,

عَيْناً يَشْرَبُ بِهَا عِبَادُ اللّٰهِ يُفَجِّرُونَهَا تَفْج۪يراً

AAaynan yashrabu biha AAibaduAllahi yufajjiroonaha tafjeera

a spring from which Allah’s slaves will drink, making it gush forth at will abundantly.

يُوفُونَ بِالنَّذْرِ وَيَخَافُونَ يَوْماً كَانَ شَرُّهُ مُسْتَط۪يراً

Yoofoona binnathri wayakhafoonayawman kana sharruhu mustateera

They fulfil their vows and fear a Day whose evil will spread far and wide.

وَيُطْعِمُونَ الطَّعَامَ عَلٰى حُبِّه۪ مِسْك۪يناً وَيَت۪يماً وَاَس۪يراً

WayutAAimona attaAAamaAAala hubbihi miskeenan wayateeman waaseera

They give food, despite their love for it, to the poor and orphans and captives:

اِنَّمَا نُطْعِمُكُمْ لِوَجْهِ اللّٰهِ لَا نُر۪يدُ مِنْكُمْ جَزَٓاءً وَلَا شُكُوراً

Innama nutAAimukum liwajhi Allahila nureedu minkum jazaan wala shukoora

‘We feed you only out of desire for the Face of Allah. We do not want any repayment from you or any thanks.

اِنَّا نَخَافُ مِنْ رَبِّنَا يَوْماً عَبُوساً قَمْطَر۪يراً

Inna nakhafu min rabbinayawman AAaboosan qamtareera

Truly We fear from our Lord a glowering, calamitous Day. ’

فَوَقٰيهُمُ اللّٰهُ شَرَّ ذٰلِكَ الْيَوْمِ وَلَقّٰيهُمْ نَضْرَةً وَسُرُوراًۚ

Fawaqahumu Allahu sharra thalikaalyawmi walaqqahum nadratan wasuroora

So Allah has safeguarded them from the evil of that Day and has made them meet with radiance and pure joy.

وَجَزٰيهُمْ بِمَا صَبَرُوا جَنَّةً وَحَر۪يراًۙ

Wajazahum bima sabaroojannatan wahareera

Inna nahnu nazzalnaAAalayka alqur-ana tanzeela

It is We who have sent the Qur’an down to you little by little.

فَاصْبِرْ لِحُكْمِ رَبِّكَ وَلَا تُطِعْ مِنْهُمْ اٰثِماً اَوْ كَفُوراًۚ

Fasbir lihukmi rabbikawala tutiAA minhum athiman aw kafoora
