Waaldduha
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالضُّحَىٰ
By the Glorious Morning Light,
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the morning hours
Waallayli itha saja
وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ
And by the Night when it is still, -
And by the night when it is stillest,
Ma waddaAAaka rabbuka wama qala
مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ
Thy Guardian - Lord hath not forsaken thee, nor is He displeased.
Thy Lord hath not forsaken thee nor doth He hate thee,
Walalakhiratu khayrun laka mina aloola
وَلَلْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَّكَ مِنَ الْأُولَىٰ
And verily the Hereafter will be better for thee than the present.
And verily the latter portion will be better for thee than the former,
Walasawfa yuAAteeka rabbuka fatarda
وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰ
And soon will thy Guardian - Lord give thee (that wherewith) thou shalt be well - pleased.
And verily thy Lord will give unto thee so that thou wilt be content.
Alam yajidka yateeman faawa
أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَآوَىٰ
Did He not find thee an orphan and give thee shelter (and care)?
Did He not find thee an orphan and protect (thee) ?
Wawajadaka dallan fahada
وَوَجَدَكَ ضَالًّا فَهَدَىٰ
And He found thee wandering, and He gave thee guidance.
Did He not find thee wandering and direct (thee) ?
Wawajadaka AAailan faaghna
وَوَجَدَكَ عَائِلًا فَأَغْنَىٰ
And He found thee in need, and made thee independent.
Did He not find thee destitute and enrich (thee) ?
Faamma alyateema fala taqhar
فَأَمَّا الْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ
Therefore, treat not the orphan with harshness,
Therefor the orphan oppress not,
Waamma alssaila fala tanhar
وَأَمَّا السَّائِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ
Nor repulse the petitioner (unheard);
Therefor the beggar drive not away,
Waamma biniAAmati rabbika fahaddith
وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ
But the bounty of the Lord - rehearse and proclaim!
Therefor of the bounty of thy Lord be thy discourse.
