يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلۡمُزَّمِّلُ
O you who wraps himself [in clothing]
قُمِ ٱلَّيۡلَ إِلَّا قَلِيلٗا
Arise [to pray] the night, except for a little
نِّصۡفَهُۥٓ أَوِ ٱنقُصۡ مِنۡهُ قَلِيلًا
Half of it - or subtract from it a little
أَوۡ زِدۡ عَلَيۡهِ وَرَتِّلِ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ تَرۡتِيلًا
Or add to it, and recite the Qur'an with measured recitation
إِنَّا سَنُلۡقِي عَلَيۡكَ قَوۡلٗا ثَقِيلًا
Indeed, We will cast upon you a heavy word
إِنَّ نَاشِئَةَ ٱلَّيۡلِ هِيَ أَشَدُّ وَطۡـٔٗا وَأَقۡوَمُ قِيلًا
Indeed, the hours of the night are more effective for concurrence [of heart and tongue] and more suitable for words
إِنَّ لَكَ فِي ٱلنَّهَارِ سَبۡحٗا طَوِيلٗا
Indeed, for you by day is prolonged occupation
وَٱذۡكُرِ ٱسۡمَ رَبِّكَ وَتَبَتَّلۡ إِلَيۡهِ تَبۡتِيلٗا
And remember the name of your Lord and devote yourself to Him with [complete] devotion
رَّبُّ ٱلۡمَشۡرِقِ وَٱلۡمَغۡرِبِ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ فَٱتَّخِذۡهُ وَكِيلٗا
[He is] the Lord of the East and the West; there is no deity except Him, so take Him as Disposer of [your] affairs
وَٱصۡبِرۡ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَٱهۡجُرۡهُمۡ هَجۡرٗا جَمِيلٗا
And be patient over what they say and avoid them with gracious avoidance
وَذَرۡنِي وَٱلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ أُوْلِي ٱلنَّعۡمَةِ وَمَهِّلۡهُمۡ قَلِيلًا
And leave Me with [the matter of] the deniers, those of ease [in life], and allow them respite a little
إِنَّ لَدَيۡنَآ أَنكَالٗا وَجَحِيمٗا
Indeed, with Us [for them] are shackles and burning fire
وَطَعَامٗا ذَا غُصَّةٖ وَعَذَابًا أَلِيمٗا
And food that chokes and a painful punishment
يَوۡمَ تَرۡجُفُ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَٱلۡجِبَالُ وَكَانَتِ ٱلۡجِبَالُ كَثِيبٗا مَّهِيلًا
On the Day the earth and the mountains will convulse and the mountains will become a heap of sand pouring down
إِنَّآ أَرۡسَلۡنَآ إِلَيۡكُمۡ رَسُولٗا شَٰهِدًا عَلَيۡكُمۡ كَمَآ أَرۡسَلۡنَآ إِلَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنَ رَسُولٗا
Indeed, We have sent to you a Messenger as a witness upon you just as We sent to Pharaoh a messenger
