بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْمُزَّمِّلُ ﴿1﴾

Yaw ayyuhal muzzammil

73:1O you wrapped up in your mantle!

قُمِ ٱلَّيْلَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًۭا ﴿2﴾

Qumil laila illaa qaleelaa

73:2Stand vigil through the night, except for a little [of it],

نِّصْفَهُۥٓ أَوِ ٱنقُصْ مِنْهُ قَلِيلًا ﴿3﴾

Nisfahooo awinqus minhu qaleelaa

73:3a half, or reduce a little from that

أَوْ زِدْ عَلَيْهِ وَرَتِّلِ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ تَرْتِيلًا ﴿4﴾

Aw zid 'alaihi wa rattilil Qur'aana tarteela

73:4or add to it, and recite the Quran in a measured tone.

إِنَّا سَنُلْقِى عَلَيْكَ قَوْلًۭا ثَقِيلًا ﴿5﴾

Innaa sanulqee 'alika qawalan saqeelaa

73:5Indeed soon We shall cast on you a weighty discourse.

إِنَّ نَاشِئَةَ ٱلَّيْلِ هِىَ أَشَدُّ وَطْـًۭٔا وَأَقْوَمُ قِيلًا ﴿6﴾

Inn naashi'atal laili hiya ashadddu wat anw wa aqwamu qeelaa

73:6Indeed the watch of the night is firmer in tread and more upright in respect to speech,

إِنَّ لَكَ فِى ٱلنَّهَارِ سَبْحًۭا طَوِيلًۭا ﴿7﴾

Inna laka fin nahaari sabhan taweelaa

73:7for indeed during the day you have drawn-out engagements.

وَٱذْكُرِ ٱسْمَ رَبِّكَ وَتَبَتَّلْ إِلَيْهِ تَبْتِيلًۭا ﴿8﴾

Wazkuris ma rabbika wa tabattal ilaihi tabteelaa

73:8So celebrate the Name of your Lord and dedicate yourself to Him with total dedication.

رَّبُّ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ وَٱلْمَغْرِبِ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ فَٱتَّخِذْهُ وَكِيلًۭا ﴿9﴾

Rabbul mashriqi wal maghriibi laaa ilaaha illaa Huwa fattakhizhu wakeelaa

73:9Lord of the east and the west, there is no god except Him; so take Him for your trustee,

وَٱصْبِرْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَٱهْجُرْهُمْ هَجْرًۭا جَمِيلًۭا ﴿10﴾

Wasbir 'alaa maa yaqoo loona wahjurhum hajran jameelaa

73:10and be patient over what they say, and distance yourself from them in a graceful manner.

وَذَرْنِى وَٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ أُو۟لِى ٱلنَّعْمَةِ وَمَهِّلْهُمْ قَلِيلًا ﴿11﴾

Wa zarnee walmukaz zibeena ulin na'mati wa mahhilhum qaleelaa

73:11Leave Me [to deal] with the deniers, the opulent, and give them a little respite.

إِنَّ لَدَيْنَآ أَنكَالًۭا وَجَحِيمًۭا ﴿12﴾

Inna ladainaaa ankaalanw wa jaheemaa

73:12Indeed with Us are heavy fetters and a fierce fire,

وَطَعَامًۭا ذَا غُصَّةٍۢ وَعَذَابًا أَلِيمًۭا ﴿13﴾

Wa ta'aaman zaa ghussa tinw wa'azaaban aleemaa

73:13and a food that chokes [those who eat it], and a painful punishment [prepared for]

يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَٱلْجِبَالُ وَكَانَتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَثِيبًۭا مَّهِيلًا ﴿14﴾

Yawma tarjuful ardu waljibaalu wa kaanatil jibaalu kaseebam maheelaa

73:14the day when the earth and the mountains will quake, and the mountains will be like dunes of shifting sand.

إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَآ إِلَيْكُمْ رَسُولًۭا شَٰهِدًا عَلَيْكُمْ كَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَآ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ رَسُولًۭا ﴿15﴾

Innaa arsalnaaa ilaikum rasoolan shahidan 'alikum kamaaa arsalnaaa ilaa Fir'awna Rasoolna

73:15Indeed We have sent to you an apostle, to be a witness to you, just as We sent an apostle to Pharaoh.

فَعَصَىٰ فِرْعَوْنُ ٱلرَّسُولَ فَأَخَذْنَٰهُ أَخْذًۭا وَبِيلًۭا ﴿16﴾

Fa'asaa Fir'awnur Rasoola fa akhaznaahu akhzanw wabeelaa

73:16But Pharaoh disobeyed the apostle; so We seized him with a terrible seizing.

فَكَيْفَ تَتَّقُونَ إِن كَفَرْتُمْ يَوْمًۭا يَجْعَلُ ٱلْوِلْدَٰنَ شِيبًا ﴿17﴾

Fakaifa tattaqoona in kafartum yawmany yaj'alul wildaana sheeba

73:17So, if you disbelieve, how will you avoid the day, which will make children white-headed,

ٱلسَّمَآءُ مُنفَطِرٌۢ بِهِۦ ۚ كَانَ وَعْدُهُۥ مَفْعُولًا ﴿18﴾

Assamaaa'u munfatirum bih; kaana wa'duhoo maf'oola

73:18and wherein the sky will be rent apart? His promise is bound to be fulfilled.

إِنَّ هَٰذِهِۦ تَذْكِرَةٌۭ ۖ فَمَن شَآءَ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ سَبِيلًا ﴿19﴾

Inna haazihee tazkiratun fa man shaaa'at takhaza ilaa Rabbihee sabeelaa

73:19This is indeed a reminder. So let anyone who wishes take the way toward his Lord.

۞ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ تَقُومُ أَدْنَىٰ مِن ثُلُثَىِ ٱلَّيْلِ وَنِصْفَهُۥ وَثُلُثَهُۥ وَطَآئِفَةٌۭ مِّنَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَكَ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ يُقَدِّرُ ٱلَّيْلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ ۚ عَلِمَ أَن لَّن تُحْصُوهُ فَتَابَ عَلَيْكُمْ ۖ فَٱقْرَءُوا۟ مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنَ ٱلْقُرْءَانِ ۚ عَلِمَ أَن سَيَكُونُ مِنكُم مَّرْضَىٰ ۙ وَءَاخَرُونَ يَضْرِبُونَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ يَبْتَغُونَ مِن فَضْلِ ٱللَّهِ ۙ وَءَاخَرُونَ يُقَٰتِلُونَ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ۖ فَٱقْرَءُوا۟ مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنْهُ ۚ وَأَقِيمُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتُوا۟ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَأَقْرِضُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًۭا ۚ وَمَا تُقَدِّمُوا۟ لِأَنفُسِكُم مِّنْ خَيْرٍۢ تَجِدُوهُ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ هُوَ خَيْرًۭا وَأَعْظَمَ أَجْرًۭا ۚ وَٱسْتَغْفِرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ ۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٌۭ رَّحِيمٌۢ ﴿20﴾

Inna Rabbaka ya'lamu annaka taqoomu adnaa min sulusa yil laili wa nisfahoo wa sulusahoo wa taaa'ifatum minal lazeena ma'ak; wal laahu yuqaddirul laila wanna haar; 'alima al lan tuhsoohu fataaba 'alaikum faqra'oo maa tayassara minal quraan; 'alima an sa yakoonu minkum mardaa wa aakharoona yadriboona fil ardi yabtaghoona min fadlil laahi wa aakharoona yuqaatiloona fee sabeelil laahi faqra'oo ma tayassara minhu wa aqeemus salaata wa aatuz zakaata wa aqridul laaha qardan hasanaa; wa maa tuqadimoo li anfusikum min khairin tajidoohu 'indal laahi huwa khayranw wa a'zama ajraa; wastaghfirul laahaa innal laaha ghafoorur raheem.

73:20Indeed your Lord knows that you stand vigil for nearly two thirds of the night—or [at times] a half or a third of it—along with a group of those who are with you. Allah measures the night and the day. He knows that you cannot calculate it [exactly], and so He was lenient toward you. So recite as much of the Quran as is feasible. He knows that some of you will be sick, while others will travel in the land seeking Allah’s bounty, and yet others will fight in the way of Allah. So recite as much of it as is feasible, and maintain the prayer and pay the zakat and lend Allah a good loan. Whatever good you send ahead for your souls you will find it with Allah [in a form] that is better and greater with respect to reward. And plead to Allah for forgiveness; indeed Allah is all-forgiving, all-merciful.
