وَٱصْبِرْ نَفْسَكَ مَعَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُم بِٱلْغَدَوٰةِ وَٱلْعَشِىِّ يُرِيدُونَ وَجْهَهُۥ ۖ وَلَا تَعْدُ عَيْنَاكَ عَنْهُمْ تُرِيدُ زِينَةَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا ۖ وَلَا تُطِعْ مَنْ أَغْفَلْنَا قَلْبَهُۥ عَن ذِكْرِنَا وَٱتَّبَعَ هَوَىٰهُ وَكَانَ أَمْرُهُۥ فُرُطًۭا
How to read it
Wa -ṣ'bir' naf'saka maʻa -lladhīna yad'ʻūna rabbahum bil-ghadāti wal-ʻashiyyi yurīdūna waj'hahu . walā taʻ'du ʻay'nāka ʻan'hum' turīdu zīnata l-ḥayāti ddun'yā . walā tuṭiʻ' man' 'agh'falnā qal'bahu ʻan dhik'rinā wa-ttabaʻa hawāhu wakāna 'am'ruhu furuṭan
And keep thy soul content with those who call on their Lord morning and evening, seeking His Face; and let not thine eyes pass beyond them, seeking the pomp and glitter of this Life; no obey any whose heart We have permitted to neglect the remembrance of Us, one who follows his own desires, whose case has gone beyond all bounds.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali
