A. J. Arberry - XCII The Night lyrics

In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compa**ionate 92:1 By the night enshrouding and the day in splendour and That which created the male and the female, surely your striving is to diverse ends. 92:5 As for him who gives and is godfearing and confirms the reward most fair, We shall surely ease him to the Easing. But as for him who is a miser, and self-sufficient, and cries lies to the reward most fair, 92:10 We shall surely ease him to the Hardship; his wealth shall not avail him when he perishes. Surely upon Us rests the guidance, and to Us belong the Last and the First. Now I have warned you of a Fire that flames, 92:15 whereat none but the most wretched shall be roasted, even he who cried lies, and turned away; and from which the most godfearing shall be removed, even he who gives his wealth to purify himself and confers no favour on any man for recompense, 92:20 only seeking the Face of his Lord the Most High; and he shall surely be satisfied.
