إِلّا ما شاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُ يَعلَمُ الجَهرَ وَما يَخفىٰ

Except what Allah should will. Indeed, He knows what is declared and what is hidden.

وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِليُسرىٰ

And We will ease you toward ease.

فَذَكِّر إِن نَفَعَتِ الذِّكرىٰ

So remind, if the reminder should benefit;

سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخشىٰ

He who fears [Allah] will be reminded.

وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا الأَشقَى

But the wretched one will avoid it -

ثُمَّ لا يَموتُ فيها وَلا يَحيىٰ

Neither dying therein nor living.

قَد أَفلَحَ مَن تَزَكّىٰ

He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself

وَذَكَرَ اسمَ رَبِّهِ فَصَلّىٰ

And mentions the name of his Lord and prays.

بَل تُؤثِرونَ الحَياةَ الدُّنيا

But you prefer the worldly life,

وَالآخِرَةُ خَيرٌ وَأَبقىٰ

While the Hereafter is better and more enduring.
