73.1. O you enwrapped one, (under the heavy responsibility of Messengership)!

73.2. Rise to keep vigil at night, except a little:

73.3. Half of it, or lessen it a little –

73.4. Or add to it (a little). And pray and recite the Qur'ān calmly and distinctly (with your mind and heart concentrated on it).

73.5. We will surely charge you with a weighty Word (and with applying it in your daily life, and conveying it to others).

73.6. Rising and praying at night impresses (mind and heart) most strongly and (makes) recitation more certain and upright.

73.7. For by day you have extended preoccupations.

73.8. And keep in remembrance the Name of your Lord (and mention It in your Prayer), and devote yourself to Him whole-heartedly:

73.9. The Lord of the east and the Lord of the west. There is no deity but He, so take Him alone for one to rely on and to entrust your affairs to.

73.10. And endure patiently all that they say (against you), and stay aloof from their way (and part from them) in a becoming manner (not as they treat you –  rather with forbearance and good advice).
