By the night when it covers,

and the day when it shines!

And by ˹the One˺ Who created 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 facilitate for them the Way of Ease.

And as for the one who is stingy, indifferent ˹to Allah˺,

and ˹staunchly˺ denies the finest reward,

We will facilitate for them the path of hardship.

And their wealth will be of no benefit to them when they tumble ˹into Hell˺.

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