Waaldduha
By the Glorious Morning Light,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والضحى
Waallayli itha saja
And by the Night when it is still, -
والليل إذا سجى
Ma waddaAAaka rabbuka wama qala
Thy Guardian - Lord hath not forsaken thee, nor is He displeased.
ما ودعك ربك وما قلى
Walalakhiratu khayrun laka mina aloola
And verily the Hereafter will be better for thee than the present.
وللآخرة خير لك من الأولى
Walasawfa yuAAteeka rabbuka fatarda
And soon will thy Guardian - Lord give thee (that wherewith) thou shalt be well - pleased.
ولسوف يعطيك ربك فترضى
Alam yajidka yateeman faawa
Did He not find thee an orphan and give thee shelter (and care)?
ألم يجدك يتيما فآوى
Wawajadaka dallan fahada
And He found thee wandering, and He gave thee guidance.
ووجدك ضالا فهدى
Wawajadaka AAailan faaghna
And He found thee in need, and made thee independent.
ووجدك عائلا فأغنى
Faamma alyateema fala taqhar
Therefore, treat not the orphan with harshness,
فأما اليتيم فلا تقهر
Waamma alssaila fala tanhar
Nor repulse the petitioner (unheard);
وأما السائل فلا تنهر
Waamma biniAAmati rabbika fahaddith
But the bounty of the Lord - rehearse and proclaim!
وأما بنعمة ربك فحدث
