إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ خُلِقَ هَلُوعًا
Inna al-insana khuliqa halooAAan

إِذَا مَسَّهُ الشَّرُّ جَزُوعًا
Itha massahu alshsharru jazooAAan
When touches him the evil, distressed.
[As a rule,] whenever misfortune touches him, he is filled with self-pity;
Fretful when evil touches him;
Fretful when evil befalleth him
Fretful when evil afflicts him,
When evil touches him, impatient,
وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ الْخَيْرُ مَنُوعًا
Wa-itha massahu alkhayru manooAAan
And when touches him the good, withholding,
and whenever good fortune comes to him, he selfishly withholds it [from others].
And niggardly when good reaches him;-
And, when good befalleth him, grudging;
And niggardly when good befalls him --
And when good touches him, withholding [of it],

Not so those devoted to Prayer;-
Save worshippers.
Except those who pray,
Except the observers of prayer -

Who are constant at their worship
Who are constant at their prayer,
Those who are constant in their prayer
