Chapter 93, 11 verses
Waaldduha
I swear by the early hours of the day,
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the morning hours
وَٱلضُّحَىٰ
Waallayli itha saja
And the night when it covers with darkness.
And by the night when it is stillest,
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ
Ma waddaAAaka rabbuka wama qala
Your Lord has not forsaken you, nor has He become displeased,
Thy Lord hath not forsaken thee nor doth He hate thee,
مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ
Walalakhiratu khayrun laka mina aloola
And surely what comes after is better for you than that which has gone before.
And verily the latter portion will be better for thee than the former,
وَلَلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ
Walasawfa yuAAteeka rabbuka fatarda
And soon will your Lord give you so that you shall be well pleased.
And verily thy Lord will give unto thee so that thou wilt be content.
وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰٓ
Alam yajidka yateeman faawa
Did He not find you an orphan and give you shelter?
Did He not find thee an orphan and protect (thee) ?
أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَـَٔاوَىٰ
Wawajadaka dallan fahada
And find you lost (that is, unrecognized by men) and guide (them to you)?
Did He not find thee wandering and direct (thee) ?
وَوَجَدَكَ ضَآلًّا فَهَدَىٰ
Wawajadaka AAailan faaghna
And find you in want and make you to be free from want?
Did He not find thee destitute and enrich (thee) ?
وَوَجَدَكَ عَآئِلًا فَأَغْنَىٰ
Faamma alyateema fala taqhar
Therefore, as for the orphan, do not oppress (him).
Therefor the orphan oppress not,
فَأَمَّا ٱلْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ
Waamma alssaila fala tanhar
And as for him who asks, do not chide (him),
Therefor the beggar drive not away,
وَأَمَّا ٱلسَّآئِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ
Waamma biniAAmati rabbika fahaddith
And as for the favor of your Lord, do announce (it).
Therefor of the bounty of thy Lord be thy discourse.
وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ
