Chapter 93, 11 verses
Waaldduha
By the Glorious Morning Light,
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the morning hours
وَٱلضُّحَىٰ
Waallayli itha saja
And by the Night when it is still, -
And by the night when it is stillest,
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ
Ma waddaAAaka rabbuka wama qala
Thy Guardian - Lord hath not forsaken thee, nor is He displeased.
Thy Lord hath not forsaken thee nor doth He hate thee,
مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ
Walalakhiratu khayrun laka mina aloola
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,
وَلَلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ
Walasawfa yuAAteeka rabbuka fatarda
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.
وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰٓ
Alam yajidka yateeman faawa
Did He not find thee an orphan and give thee shelter (and care)?
Did He not find thee an orphan and protect (thee) ?
أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَـَٔاوَىٰ
Wawajadaka dallan fahada
And He found thee wandering, and He gave thee guidance.
Did He not find thee wandering and direct (thee) ?
وَوَجَدَكَ ضَآلًّا فَهَدَىٰ
Wawajadaka AAailan faaghna
And He found thee in need, and made thee independent.
Did He not find thee destitute and enrich (thee) ?
وَوَجَدَكَ عَآئِلًا فَأَغْنَىٰ
Faamma alyateema fala taqhar
Therefore, treat not the orphan with harshness,
Therefor the orphan oppress not,
فَأَمَّا ٱلْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ
Waamma alssaila fala tanhar
Nor repulse the petitioner (unheard);
Therefor the beggar drive not away,
وَأَمَّا ٱلسَّآئِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ
Waamma biniAAmati rabbika fahaddith
But the bounty of the Lord - rehearse and proclaim!
Therefor of the bounty of thy Lord be thy discourse.
وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ
