Waaldduha
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والضحى
By the morning brightness
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the morning hours
Waallayli itha saja
والليل إذا سجى
And [by] the night when it covers with darkness,
And by the night when it is stillest,
Ma waddaAAaka rabbuka wama qala
ما ودعك ربك وما قلى
Your Lord has not taken leave of you, [O Muhammad], nor has He detested [you].
Thy Lord hath not forsaken thee nor doth He hate thee,
Walalakhiratu khayrun laka mina aloola
وللآخرة خير لك من الأولى
And the Hereafter is better for you than the first [life].
And verily the latter portion will be better for thee than the former,
Walasawfa yuAAteeka rabbuka fatarda
ولسوف يعطيك ربك فترضى
And your Lord is going to give you, and you will be satisfied.
And verily thy Lord will give unto thee so that thou wilt be content.
Alam yajidka yateeman faawa
ألم يجدك يتيما فآوى
Did He not find you an orphan and give [you] refuge?
Did He not find thee an orphan and protect (thee) ?
Wawajadaka dallan fahada
ووجدك ضالا فهدى
And He found you lost and guided [you],
Did He not find thee wandering and direct (thee) ?
Wawajadaka AAailan faaghna
ووجدك عائلا فأغنى
And He found you poor and made [you] self - sufficient.
Did He not find thee destitute and enrich (thee) ?
Faamma alyateema fala taqhar
فأما اليتيم فلا تقهر
So as for the orphan, do not oppress [him].
Therefor the orphan oppress not,
Waamma alssaila fala tanhar
وأما السائل فلا تنهر

Therefor the beggar drive not away,
Waamma biniAAmati rabbika fahaddith
وأما بنعمة ربك فحدث

Therefor of the bounty of thy Lord be thy discourse.
