Chapter 93, 11 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the morning hours
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والضحى
Waaldduha
And by the night when it is stillest,
والليل إذا سجى
Waallayli itha saja
Thy Lord hath not forsaken thee nor doth He hate thee,
ما ودعك ربك وما قلى
Ma waddaAAaka rabbuka wama qala
And verily the latter portion will be better for thee than the former,
وللآخرة خير لك من الأولى
Walalakhiratu khayrun laka mina aloola
And verily thy Lord will give unto thee so that thou wilt be content.
ولسوف يعطيك ربك فترضى
Walasawfa yuAAteeka rabbuka fatarda
Did He not find thee an orphan and protect (thee) ?
ألم يجدك يتيما فآوى
Alam yajidka yateeman faawa
Did He not find thee wandering and direct (thee) ?
ووجدك ضالا فهدى
Wawajadaka dallan fahada
Did He not find thee destitute and enrich (thee) ?
ووجدك عائلا فأغنى
Wawajadaka AAailan faaghna
Therefor the orphan oppress not,
فأما اليتيم فلا تقهر
Faamma alyateema fala taqhar
Therefor the beggar drive not away,
وأما السائل فلا تنهر
Waamma alssaila fala tanhar
Therefor of the bounty of thy Lord be thy discourse.
وأما بنعمة ربك فحدث
Waamma biniAAmati rabbika fahaddith
