العصر

وَٱلْعَصْرِ ١

Wal-ʿaṣri

By the declining day,

إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ لَفِى خُسْرٍ ٢

Inna l-insāna lafī khus'rin

Man is [deep] in loss,

إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلصَّبْرِ ٣

Illā alladhīna āmanū waʿamilū l-ṣāliḥāti watawāṣaw bil-ḥaqi watawāṣaw bil-ṣabri

Except for those who believe, do good deeds, urge one another to the truth, and urge one another to steadfastness.
