And [by] the night when it covers with darkness,

Your Lord has not taken leave of you, [O Muhammad], nor has He detested [you].
ما ودعك ربك وما قلى

And the Hereafter is better for you than the first [life].

Did He not find you an orphan and give [you] refuge?
ألم يجدك يتيما فآوى

And He found you poor and made [you] self - sufficient.
ووجدك عائلا فأغنى
