فَلا أُقسِمُ بِالشَّفَقِ

So I swear by the twilight glow

وَاللَّيلِ وَما وَسَقَ

And [by] the night and what it envelops

وَالقَمَرِ إِذَا اتَّسَقَ

And [by] the moon when it becomes full

لَتَركَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ

[That] you will surely experience state after state.

فَما لَهُم لا يُؤمِنونَ

So what is [the matter] with them [that] they do not believe,

بَلِ الَّذينَ كَفَروا يُكَذِّبونَ

But those who have disbelieved deny,

وَاللَّهُ أَعلَمُ بِما يوعونَ

And Allah is most knowing of what they keep within themselves.

فَبَشِّرهُم بِعَذابٍ أَليمٍ

So give them tidings of a painful punishment,

إِلَّا الَّذينَ آمَنوا وَعَمِلُوا الصّالِحاتِ لَهُم أَجرٌ غَيرُ مَمنونٍ

Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds. For them is a reward uninterrupted.
