إِنَّ ناشِئَةَ اللَّيلِ هِيَ أَشَدُّ وَطئًا وَأَقوَمُ قيلًا

Indeed, the hours of the night are more effective for concurrence [of heart and tongue] and more suitable for words.

إِنَّ لَكَ فِي النَّهارِ سَبحًا طَويلًا

Indeed, for you by day is prolonged occupation.

وَاذكُرِ اسمَ رَبِّكَ وَتَبَتَّل إِلَيهِ تَبتيلًا

And remember the name of your Lord and devote yourself to Him with [complete] devotion.

رَبُّ المَشرِقِ وَالمَغرِبِ لا إِلـٰهَ إِلّا هُوَ فَاتَّخِذهُ وَكيلًا

[He is] the Lord of the East and the West; there is no deity except Him, so take Him as Disposer of [your] affairs.

وَاصبِر عَلىٰ ما يَقولونَ وَاهجُرهُم هَجرًا جَميلًا

And be patient over what they say and avoid them with gracious avoidance.

إِنَّ لَدَينا أَنكالًا وَجَحيمًا

Indeed, with Us [for them] are shackles and burning fire

وَطَعامًا ذا غُصَّةٍ وَعَذابًا أَليمًا

And food that chokes and a painful punishment -

يَومَ تَرجُفُ الأَرضُ وَالجِبالُ وَكانَتِ الجِبالُ كَثيبًا مَهيلًا

On the Day the earth and the mountains will convulse and the mountains will become a heap of sand pouring down.

إِنّا أَرسَلنا إِلَيكُم رَسولًا شاهِدًا عَلَيكُم كَما أَرسَلنا إِلىٰ فِرعَونَ رَسولًا

Indeed, We have sent to you a Messenger as a witness upon you just as We sent to Pharaoh a messenger.

فَعَصىٰ فِرعَونُ الرَّسولَ فَأَخَذناهُ أَخذًا وَبيلًا

But Pharaoh disobeyed the messenger, so We seized him with a ruinous seizure.
