Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil)

Wakaththaba bialhusna

Wa Kadhaba Bil-Ĥusná

And rejects the best

Fasanuyassiruhu lilAAusra

Fasanuyassiruhu Lil`usrá

We will facilitate for him the difficult end

Lā Yaşlāhā 'Illā Al-'Ashqá

None shall enter it but the most unhappy

Allathee kaththaba watawalla

Al-Ladhī Kadhaba Wa Tawallá

Who gives the lie (to the truth) and turns (his) back

Except the seeking of the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High
