Chapter 93, 11 verses
I swear by the early hours of the day,
Waaldduha
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والضحى
وَٱلضُّحَىٰ
And the night when it covers with darkness.
Waallayli itha saja
والليل إذا سجى
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ
Your Lord has not forsaken you, nor has He become displeased,
Ma waddaAAaka rabbuka wama qala
ما ودعك ربك وما قلى
مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ
And surely what comes after is better for you than that which has gone before.
Walalakhiratu khayrun laka mina aloola
وللآخرة خير لك من الأولى
وَلَلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ
And soon will your Lord give you so that you shall be well pleased.
Walasawfa yuAAteeka rabbuka fatarda
ولسوف يعطيك ربك فترضى
وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰٓ
Did He not find you an orphan and give you shelter?
Alam yajidka yateeman faawa
ألم يجدك يتيما فآوى
أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَـَٔاوَىٰ
And find you lost (that is, unrecognized by men) and guide (them to you)?
Wawajadaka dallan fahada
ووجدك ضالا فهدى
وَوَجَدَكَ ضَآلًّا فَهَدَىٰ
And find you in want and make you to be free from want?
Wawajadaka AAailan faaghna
ووجدك عائلا فأغنى
وَوَجَدَكَ عَآئِلًا فَأَغْنَىٰ
Therefore, as for the orphan, do not oppress (him).
Faamma alyateema fala taqhar
فأما اليتيم فلا تقهر
فَأَمَّا ٱلْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ
And as for him who asks, do not chide (him),
Waamma alssaila fala tanhar
وأما السائل فلا تنهر
وَأَمَّا ٱلسَّآئِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ
And as for the favor of your Lord, do announce (it).
Waamma biniAAmati rabbika fahaddith
وأما بنعمة ربك فحدث
وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ
