وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلۡأُنثَىٰٓ ٣

And Him who created the male and the female.

إِنَّ سَعۡيَكُمۡ لَشَتَّىٰ ٤

Your works are of various kinds.

فَأَمَّا مَنۡ أَعۡطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ ٥

As for him who gives to charity and maintains righteousness.

وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ ٦

And upholds the scripture.

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ ۥ لِلۡيُسۡرَىٰ ٧

His money cannot help him when he falls.

إِنَّ عَلَيۡنَا لَلۡهُدَىٰ ١٢

We provide the guidance.

وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلۡأَخِرَةَ وَٱلۡأُولَىٰ ١٣

لَا يَصۡلَٮٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلۡأَشۡقَى ١٥

None burns therein except the wicked.

ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ١٦

Who disbelieves and turns away.

وَسَيُجَنَّبُہَا ٱلۡأَتۡقَى ١٧

Avoiding it will be the righteous.

ٱلَّذِى يُؤۡتِى مَالَهُ ۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ ١٨

Who gives from his money to charity.

وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُ ۥ مِن نِّعۡمَةٍ۬ تُجۡزَىٰٓ ١٩

إِلَّا ٱبۡتِغَآءَ وَجۡهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ ٢٠
