یَـٰۤأَیُّهَا ٱلۡمُزَّمِّلُ 

O THOU enwrapped one!

2

قُمِ ٱلَّیۡلَ إِلَّا قَلِیلࣰا 

Keep awake [in prayer] at night, all but a small part

3

نِّصۡفَهُۥۤ أَوِ ٱنقُصۡ مِنۡهُ قَلِیلًا 

of one-half thereof - or make it a little less than that,

4

أَوۡ زِدۡ عَلَیۡهِ وَرَتِّلِ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ تَرۡتِیلًا 

or add to it [at will]; and [during that time] recite the Qur’an calmly and distinctly, with thy mind attuned to its meaning.

5

إِنَّا سَنُلۡقِی عَلَیۡكَ قَوۡلࣰا ثَقِیلًا 

Behold, We shall bestow upon thee a weighty message –

6

إِنَّ نَاشِئَةَ ٱلَّیۡلِ هِیَ أَشَدُّ وَطۡءࣰا وَأَقۡوَمُ قِیلًا 

[and,] verily, the hours of night the mind most strongly and speak with the clearest voice,

7

إِنَّ لَكَ فِی ٱلنَّهَارِ سَبۡحࣰا طَوِیلࣰا 

whereas by day a long chain of doings is thy portion.

8

وَٱذۡكُرِ ٱسۡمَ رَبِّكَ وَتَبَتَّلۡ إِلَیۡهِ تَبۡتِیلࣰا 

But [whether by night or by day,] remember thy Sustainer's name, and devote thyself unto Him with utter devotion.

9

رَّبُّ ٱلۡمَشۡرِقِ وَٱلۡمَغۡرِبِ لَاۤ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ فَٱتَّخِذۡهُ وَكِیلࣰا 

The Sustainer of the east and the west [is He]: there is no deity save Him: hence, ascribe to Him alone the power to determine thy fate,

10

وَٱصۡبِرۡ عَلَىٰ مَا یَقُولُونَ وَٱهۡجُرۡهُمۡ هَجۡرࣰا جَمِیلࣰا 

and endure with patience whatever people may say [against thee], and avoid them with a comely avoidance.
