73:1  O you who wraps himself

73:2  Stand (in) the night, except a little

73:3  Half of it, or lessen from it a little

73:4  Or add to it, and recite the Quran (with) measured rhythmic reci

73:5  Indeed, We will cast upon you a Word heavy

73:6  Indeed, (the) rising (at) the night, it (is) very hard and most potent and more suitable (for) Word

73:7  Indeed, for you in the day (is) occupation prolonged

73:8  And remember (the) name (of) your Lord and devote yourself to Him (with) devotion

73:9  (The) Lord (of) the east and the west; (there is) no god except Him, so take Him (as) Disposer of Affairs

73:10  And be patient over what they say, and avoid them, an avoidance gracious

73:11  And leave Me and the deniers, possessors (of) the ease, and allow them respite - a little

73:12  Indeed, with Us (are) shackles and burning fire

73:13  And food that chokes and a punishment painful

73:14  (On the) Day will quake the earth and the mountains, and will become the mountains a heap of sand pouring down

73:15  Indeed, We [We] have sent to you a Messenger (as) a witness upon you, as We sent to Firaun a Messenger

73:16  But disobeyed Firaun the Messenger, so We seized him (with) a seizure ruinous

73:17  Then how will you guard yourselves, if you disbelieve, a Day (that) will make the children gray-haired

73:18  The heaven (will) break apart therefrom, is His Promise to be fulfilled

73:19  Indeed, this (is) a Reminder, then whoever wills (let him) take to his Lord a way

73:20  Indeed, your Lord knows that you stand (a little) less than two-thirds (of) the night, and half of it and a third of it and (so do) a group of those who (are) with you. And Allah determines the night and the day. He knows that not you count it, so He has turned to you, so recite what is easy of the Quran. He knows that there will be among you sick and others traveling in the land seeking of (the) Bounty (of) Allah, and others fighting in (the) way (of) Allah. So recite what is easy of it, and establish the prayer and give the zakah and loan Allah a loan goodly. And whatever you send forth for yourselves of good, you will find it with Allah. It (will be) better and greater (in) reward. And seek forgiveness (of) Allah. Indeed, Allah (is) Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful
