Chapter 93, 11 verses
Waaldduha
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالضُّحَىٰ
I swear by the early hours of the day,
By the Glorious Morning Light,
Waallayli itha saja
وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ
And the night when it covers with darkness.
And by the Night when it is still, -
Ma waddaAAaka rabbuka wama qala
مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ
Your Lord has not forsaken you, nor has He become displeased,
Thy Guardian - Lord hath not forsaken thee, nor is He displeased.
Walalakhiratu khayrun laka mina aloola
وَلَلْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَّكَ مِنَ الْأُولَىٰ
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.
Walasawfa yuAAteeka rabbuka fatarda
وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰ
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.
Alam yajidka yateeman faawa
أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَآوَىٰ
Did He not find you an orphan and give you shelter?
Did He not find thee an orphan and give thee shelter (and care)?
Wawajadaka dallan fahada
وَوَجَدَكَ ضَالًّا فَهَدَىٰ
And find you lost (that is, unrecognized by men) and guide (them to you)?
And He found thee wandering, and He gave thee guidance.
Wawajadaka AAailan faaghna
وَوَجَدَكَ عَائِلًا فَأَغْنَىٰ
And find you in want and make you to be free from want?
And He found thee in need, and made thee independent.
Faamma alyateema fala taqhar
فَأَمَّا الْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ
Therefore, as for the orphan, do not oppress (him).
Therefore, treat not the orphan with harshness,
Waamma alssaila fala tanhar
وَأَمَّا السَّائِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ
And as for him who asks, do not chide (him),
Nor repulse the petitioner (unheard);
Waamma biniAAmati rabbika fahaddith
وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ
And as for the favor of your Lord, do announce (it).
But the bounty of the Lord - rehearse and proclaim!
