يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْمُزَّمِّلُ

Yaw ayyuhal muzzammil

O you who wraps himself [in clothing],

قُمِ ٱلَّيْلَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًۭا

Qumil laila illaa qaleelaa

Arise [to pray] the night, except for a little -

نِّصْفَهُۥٓ أَوِ ٱنقُصْ مِنْهُ قَلِيلًا

Nisfahooo awinqus minhu qaleelaa

Half of it - or subtract from it a little

أَوْ زِدْ عَلَيْهِ وَرَتِّلِ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ تَرْتِيلًا

Aw zid 'alaihi wa rattilil Qur'aana tarteela

Or add to it, and recite the Qur'an with measured recitation.

إِنَّا سَنُلْقِى عَلَيْكَ قَوْلًۭا ثَقِيلًا

Innaa sanulqee 'alika qawalan saqeelaa

Indeed, We will cast upon you a heavy word.

إِنَّ نَاشِئَةَ ٱلَّيْلِ هِىَ أَشَدُّ وَطْـًۭٔا وَأَقْوَمُ قِيلًا

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

Indeed, the hours of the night are more effective for concurrence [of heart and tongue] and more suitable for words.

إِنَّ لَكَ فِى ٱلنَّهَارِ سَبْحًۭا طَوِيلًۭا

Inna laka fin nahaari sabhan taweelaa

Indeed, for you by day is prolonged occupation.

وَٱذْكُرِ ٱسْمَ رَبِّكَ وَتَبَتَّلْ إِلَيْهِ تَبْتِيلًۭا

Wazkuris ma rabbika wa tabattal ilaihi tabteelaa

And remember the name of your Lord and devote yourself to Him with [complete] devotion.

رَّبُّ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ وَٱلْمَغْرِبِ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ فَٱتَّخِذْهُ وَكِيلًۭا

Rabbul mashriqi wal maghriibi laaa ilaaha illaa Huwa fattakhizhu wakeelaa

[He is] the Lord of the East and the West; there is no deity except Him, so take Him as Disposer of [your] affairs.

وَٱصْبِرْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَٱهْجُرْهُمْ هَجْرًۭا جَمِيلًۭا

Wasbir 'alaa maa yaqoo loona wahjurhum hajran jameelaa

And be patient over what they say and avoid them with gracious avoidance.
