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