O you

who wraps himself

Stand

(in) the night

except

a little

Half of it

or

lessen

from it

a little

Or

add

to it

and recite

the Quran

(with) measured rhythmic recitation

Indeed We

will cast

upon you

a Word

heavy

Indeed

(the) rising

(at) the night

it

(is) very hard

and most potent

and more suitable

(for) Word

Indeed

for you

in

the day

(is) occupation

prolonged

And remember

(the) name

(of) your Lord

and devote yourself

to Him

(with) devotion

(The) Lord

(of) the east

and the west

(there is) no

god

except

Him

so take Him

(as) Disposer of Affairs

And be patient

over

what

they say

and avoid them

an avoidance

gracious

And leave Me

and the deniers

possessors

(of) the ease

and allow them respite

a little

Indeed

with Us

(are) shackles

and burning fire

And food

that

chokes

and a punishment

painful

(On the) Day

will quake

the earth

and the mountains

and will become

the mountains

a heap of sand

pouring down

Indeed We

[We] have sent

to you

a Messenger

(as) a witness

upon you

as

We sent

to

Firaun

a Messenger

But disobeyed

Firaun

the Messenger

so We seized him

(with) a seizure

ruinous

Then how

will you guard yourselves

if

you disbelieve

a Day

(that) will make

the children

gray-haired

The heaven

(will) break apart

therefrom

is

His Promise

to be fulfilled

Indeed

this

(is) a Reminder

then whoever

wills

(let him) take

to

his Lord

a way

Indeed

your Lord

knows

that you

stand

(a little) less

than

two-thirds

(of) the night

and half of it

and a third of it

and (so do) a group

of

those who

(are) with you

And Allah

determines

the night

and the day

He knows

that

not

you count it

so He has turned

to you

so recite

what

is easy

of

the Quran

He knows

that

there will be

among you

sick

and others

traveling

in

the land

seeking

of

(the) Bounty

(of) Allah

and others

fighting

in

(the) way

(of) Allah

So recite

what

is easy

of it

and establish

the prayer

and give

the zakah

and loan

Allah

a loan

goodly

And whatever

you send forth

for yourselves

of

good

you will find it

with

Allah

It

(will be) better

and greater

(in) reward

And seek forgiveness

(of) Allah

Indeed

Allah

(is) Oft-Forgiving

Most Merciful
