بِسْمِ ٱللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
1
هَلۡ أَتَىٰ عَلَى ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنِ حِینࣱ مِّنَ ٱلدَّهۡرِ لَمۡ یَكُن شَیۡءࣰا مَّذۡكُورًا
HAS THERE [not] been an endless span of time before man [appeared - a time] when he was not yet a thing to be thought of?
2
إِنَّا خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنَ مِن نُّطۡفَةٍ أَمۡشَاجࣲ نَّبۡتَلِیهِ فَجَعَلۡنَـٰهُ سَمِیعَۢا بَصِیرًا
Verily, it is We who have created man out of a drop of sperm intermingled, so that We might try him [in his later life]: and therefore We made him a being endowed with hearing and sight.
3
إِنَّا هَدَیۡنَـٰهُ ٱلسَّبِیلَ إِمَّا شَاكِرࣰا وَإِمَّا كَفُورًا
Verily, We have shown him the way: [and it rests with him to prove himself] either grateful or ungrateful.
4
إِنَّاۤ أَعۡتَدۡنَا لِلۡكَـٰفِرِینَ سَلَـٰسِلَا۟ وَأَغۡلَـٰلࣰا وَسَعِیرًا
[Now,] behold, for those who deny the truth We have readied chains and shackles, and a blazing flame
5
إِنَّ ٱلۡأَبۡرَارَ یَشۡرَبُونَ مِن كَأۡسࣲ كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا كَافُورًا
[whereas,] behold, the truly virtuous shall drink from a cup flavoured with the calyx of sweet-smelling flowers:
6
عَیۡنࣰا یَشۡرَبُ بِهَا عِبَادُ ٱللَّهِ یُفَجِّرُونَهَا تَفۡجِیرࣰا
a source [of bliss] whereof God's servants shall drink, seeing it flow in a flow abundant.
7
یُوفُونَ بِٱلنَّذۡرِ وَیَخَافُونَ یَوۡمࣰا كَانَ شَرُّهُۥ مُسۡتَطِیرࣰا
[The truly virtuous are] they [who] fulfil their vows, and stand in awe of a Day the woe of which is bound to spread far and wide,
8
وَیُطۡعِمُونَ ٱلطَّعَامَ عَلَىٰ حُبِّهِۦ مِسۡكِینࣰا وَیَتِیمࣰا وَأَسِیرًا
and who give food - however great be their own want of it - unto the needy, and the orphan, and the captive,
9
إِنَّمَا نُطۡعِمُكُمۡ لِوَجۡهِ ٱللَّهِ لَا نُرِیدُ مِنكُمۡ جَزَاۤءࣰ وَلَا شُكُورًا
[saying, in their hearts,] "We feed you for the sake of God alone: we desire no recompense from you, nor thanks:
10
إِنَّا نَخَافُ مِن رَّبِّنَا یَوۡمًا عَبُوسࣰا قَمۡطَرِیرࣰا
behold, we stand in awe of our Sustainer's judgment on a distressful, fateful Day!"
