O you who practice deep contemplation, completely covered by your wearing cloth, stand for prayer during half the night, reciting Holy Qur’an in slow, rhythmic, harmonious tones. We shall send a tremendous Divine Message through you.
يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُزَّمِّلُ
قُمِ اللَّيْلَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا
نِصْفَهُ أَوِ انْقُصْ مِنْهُ قَلِيلًا
أَوْ زِدْ عَلَيْهِ وَرَتِّلِ الْقُرْآنَ تَرْتِيلًا
إِنَّا سَنُلْقِي عَلَيْكَ قَوْلًا ثَقِيلًا
Ya aiyuhal muzzammil
Qumil laila illaa qaleelaa
Nisfahooo awinqus minhu qaleelaa
Aw zid 'alaihi wa rattilil Qur'aana tarteela
Innaa sanulqee 'alaika qawlan saqeelaa
