1. O thou folded in garments!
2. Stand (to prayer) द्वारा night, but not all night,-
3. Half of it,- या a little less,
4. या a little more; and recite the Qur'an in slow, measured rhythmic tones.
5. Soon shall We send down to thee a weighty Message.
6. Truly the rising द्वारा night is most potent for governing (the soul), and most suitable for (framing) the Word (of Prayer and Praise).
7. True, there is for thee द्वारा दिन prolonged occupation with ordinary duties:
8. But keep in remembrance the name of thy Lord and devote thyself to Him whole-heartedly.
9. (He is) Lord of the East and the West: there is no god but He: take Him therefore for (thy) Disposer of Affairs.
10. And have patience with what they say, and leave them with noble (dignity).
11. And leave Me (alone to deal with) those in possession of the good things of life, who (yet) deny the Truth; and भालू with them for a little while.
12. With Us are Fetters (to bind them), and a आग (to burn them),
13. And a खाना that chokes, and a Penalty Grievous.
14. One दिन the earth and the mountains will be in violent commotion. And the mountains will be as a heap of sand poured out and flowing down.
15. We have sent to you, (O men!) an apostle, to be a witness concerning you, even as We sent an apostle to Pharaoh.
16. But Pharaoh disobeyed the apostle; so We seized him with a heavy Punishment.
17. Then how shall ye, if ye deny ((Allah)), guard yourselves against a दिन that will make children hoary-headed?-
18. Whereon the sky will be cleft asunder? His Promise needs must be accomplished.
19. Verily this is an Admonition: therefore, whoso will, let him take a (straight) path to his Lord!
20. Thy Lord doth know that thou standest forth (to prayer) nigh two-thirds of the night, या half the night, या a third of the night, and so doth a party of those with thee. But Allah doth appoint night and दिन in due measure He knoweth that ye are unable to keep count thereof. So He hath turned to आप (in mercy): read ye, therefore, of the Qur'an as much as may be easy for you. He knoweth that there may be (some) among आप in ill-health; others travelling through the land, seeking of Allah.s bounty; yet others fighting in Allah.s Cause, read ye, therefore, as much of the Qur'an as may be easy (for you); and establish regular Prayer and give regular Charity; and loan to Allah a Beautiful Loan. And whatever good ye send forth for your souls ye shall find it in Allah.s Presence,- yea, better and greater, in Reward and seek ye the Grace of Allah. for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

1. The (Day) of Noise and Clamour:
2. What is the (Day) of Noise and Clamour?
3. And what will explain to thee what the (Day) of Noise and Clamour is?
4. (It is) a दिन whereon men will be like moths scattered about,
5. And the mountains will be like carded wool.
6. Then, he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) heavy,
7. Will be in a life of good pleasure and satisfaction.
8. But he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) light,-
9. Will have his घर in a (bottomless) Pit.

2. And what will explain to thee what the Night-Visitant is?-
3. (It is) the तारा, स्टार of piercing brightness;-
4. There is no soul but has a protector over it.
5. Now let man but think from what he is created!
6. He is created from a drop emitted-
7. Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs:
8. Surely ((Allah)) is able to bring him back (to life)!
9. The दिन that (all) things secret will be tested,
