Chapter 93, 11 verses
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والضحى
By the Glorious Morning Light,
I swear by the early hours of the day,
وَٱلضُّحَىٰ
والليل إذا سجى
And by the Night when it is still, -
And the night when it covers with darkness.
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ
ما ودعك ربك وما قلى
Thy Guardian - Lord hath not forsaken thee, nor is He displeased.
Your Lord has not forsaken you, nor has He become displeased,
مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ
وللآخرة خير لك من الأولى
And verily the Hereafter will be better for thee than the present.
And surely what comes after is better for you than that which has gone before.
وَلَلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ
ولسوف يعطيك ربك فترضى
And soon will thy Guardian - Lord give thee (that wherewith) thou shalt be well - pleased.
And soon will your Lord give you so that you shall be well pleased.
وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰٓ
ألم يجدك يتيما فآوى
Did He not find thee an orphan and give thee shelter (and care)?
Did He not find you an orphan and give you shelter?
أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَـَٔاوَىٰ
ووجدك ضالا فهدى
And He found thee wandering, and He gave thee guidance.
And find you lost (that is, unrecognized by men) and guide (them to you)?
وَوَجَدَكَ ضَآلًّا فَهَدَىٰ
ووجدك عائلا فأغنى
And He found thee in need, and made thee independent.
And find you in want and make you to be free from want?
وَوَجَدَكَ عَآئِلًا فَأَغْنَىٰ
فأما اليتيم فلا تقهر
Therefore, treat not the orphan with harshness,
Therefore, as for the orphan, do not oppress (him).
فَأَمَّا ٱلْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ
وأما السائل فلا تنهر
Nor repulse the petitioner (unheard);
And as for him who asks, do not chide (him),
وَأَمَّا ٱلسَّآئِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ
وأما بنعمة ربك فحدث
But the bounty of the Lord - rehearse and proclaim!
And as for the favor of your Lord, do announce (it).
وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ
