Al-Asr

By the declining day,

وَالْعَصْرِ

wal-ʿaṣri

man is [deep] in loss,

إِنَّ الْإِنْسَانَ لَفِي خُسْرٍ

inna l-insāna lafī khus'rin

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

إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالْحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِ

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