1. لَهُ يَوْمُ بُؤْسٍ فِيهِ للنَّاسِ أَبْؤُسٌ

    ويَوْمُ نَعِيمٍ فيهِ للنّاسِ أَنْعُمُ

    He has a day of misery, with woes for the people,

    and a day of bliss, with blessings for the people.

  2. فَيَمْطُرُ يَوْمَ الجُودِ مِنْ كَفِّهِ النَّدَى

    وَيَمْطُرُ يَوْمَ البَأْسِ مِنْ كَفهِ الدَّمُ

    So on the day of generosity, the dew of bounty rains from his palm,

    and on the day of battle, blood rains from his palm.

  3. فَلَوْ أَنَّ يَوْمَ البُؤْسِ خَلَّى عِقَابَهُ

    عَلَى النَّاسِ لَمْ يُصْبِحْ عَلَى الأَرْضِ مُجْرِمُ

    So if the day of misery unleashed his punishment

    upon the people, no wrongdoer would be left on earth by morning.

  4. وَلَو أَنَّ يَوْمَ الجُودِ خَلَّى نَوَالَهُ

    عَلى الأَرْضِ لَمْ يُصبِحْ عَلَى الأَرْضِ مُعْدِمُ

    And if the day of generosity unleashed his bounty

    upon the earth, no destitute person would be left on earth by morning.
