إِنَّ الإِنسانَ خُلِقَ هَلوعًا

Man was created anxious.

إِذا مَسَّهُ الشَّرُّ جَزوعًا

Agitated when misfortune touches him.

وَإِذا مَسَّهُ الخَيرُ مَنوعًا

And tight-fisted when good reaches him.

إِلَّا المُصَلّينَ

Except for those who pray.

الَّذينَ هُم عَلىٰ صَلاتِهِم دائِمونَ

Who remain constant in their prayers.

لِلسّائِلِ وَالمَحرومِ

For the asker and the deprived.

وَالَّذينَ يُصَدِّقونَ بِيَومِ الدّينِ

And those who affirm the Day of Judgment.

وَالَّذينَ هُم مِن عَذابِ رَبِّهِم مُشفِقونَ

And those who fear their Lord’s punishment.

إِنَّ عَذابَ رَبِّهِم غَيرُ مَأمونٍ

Their Lord’s punishment isn’t to be underestimated.

وَالَّذينَ هُم لِفُروجِهِم حافِظونَ

And those who guard their purity.
