بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

أَرَءَيْتَ ٱلَّذِى يُكَذِّبُ بِٱلدِّينِ ﴿١﴾

Ara-aital lazee yu kazzibu bid deen

1 Have you seen the one who denies the Recompense?

فَذَٰلِكَ ٱلَّذِى يَدُعُّ ٱلْيَتِيمَ ﴿٢﴾

Fa zaalikal lazi yadu'ul-yateem

2 For that is the one who drives away the orphan

وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ ﴿٣﴾

Wa la ya huddu 'alaa ta'amil miskeen

3 And does not encourage the feeding of the poor.

فَوَيْلٌۭ لِّلْمُصَلِّينَ ﴿٤﴾

Fa wai lul-lil mu salleen

4 So woe to those who pray

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَن صَلَاتِهِمْ سَاهُونَ ﴿٥﴾

Al lazeena hum 'an salaatihim sahoon

5 [But] who are heedless of their prayer -

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ يُرَآءُونَ ﴿٦﴾

Al lazeena hum yuraa-oon

6 Those who make show [of their deeds]

وَيَمْنَعُونَ ٱلْمَاعُونَ ﴿٧﴾

Wa yamna'oonal ma'oon

7 And withhold [simple] assistance.
