O you

who wraps himself

Stand

(in) the night

except

a little

Half of it

or

lessen

from it

a little

Or

add

to it

and recite

the Quran

(with) measured rhythmic recitation

Indeed, We

will cast

upon you

a Word

heavy

Indeed

(the) rising

(at) the night

it

(is) very hard

and most potent

and more suitable

(for) Word

Indeed

for you

in

the day

(is) occupation

prolonged

And remember

(the) name

(of) your Lord

and devote yourself

to Him

(with) devotion

(The) Lord

(of) the east

and the west

(there is) no

god

except

Him

so take Him

(as) Disposer of Affairs

And be patient

over

what

they say

and avoid them

an avoidance

gracious

And leave Me

and the deniers

possessors

(of) the ease

and allow them respite

a little

Indeed

with Us

(are) shackles

and burning fire

And food

that

chokes

and a punishment

painful

(On the) Day

will quake

the earth

and the mountains

and will become

the mountains

a heap of sand

pouring down

Indeed, We

[We] have sent

to you

a Messenger

(as) a witness

upon you

as

We sent

to

Firaun

a Messenger

But disobeyed

Firaun

the Messenger

so We seized him

(with) a seizure

ruinous

Then how

will you guard yourselves

if

you disbelieve

a Day

(that) will make

the children

gray-haired

The heaven

(will) break apart

therefrom

is

His Promise

to be fulfilled

Indeed

this

(is) a Reminder

then whoever

wills

(let him) take

to

his Lord

a way
