الفجر

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلْفَجْرِ

Wal-Fajr

By the dawn

وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍۢ

Wa layaalin 'ashr

And [by] ten nights

وَٱلشَّفْعِ وَٱلْوَتْرِ

Wash shaf'i wal watr

And [by] the even [number] and the odd

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ

Wallaili izaa yasr

And [by] the night when it passes,

هَلْ فِى ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٌۭ لِّذِى حِجْرٍ

Hal fee zaalika qasamul lizee hijr

Is there [not] in [all] that an oath [sufficient] for one of perception?

أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ

Alam tara kaifa fa'ala rabbuka bi'aad

Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with 'Aad -

إِرَمَ ذَاتِ ٱلْعِمَادِ

Iramaa zaatil 'imaad

[With] Iram - who had lofty pillars,

ٱلَّتِى لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِى ٱلْبِلَٰدِ

Allatee lam yukhlaq misluhaa fil bilaad

The likes of whom had never been created in the land?

وَثَمُودَ ٱلَّذِينَ جَابُوا۟ ٱلصَّخْرَ بِٱلْوَادِ

Wa samoodal lazeena jaabus sakhra bil waad

And [with] Thamud, who carved out the rocks in the valley?

وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِى ٱلْأَوْتَادِ

Wa fir'awna zil awtaad

And [with] Pharaoh, owner of the stakes? -
