Chapter 93, 11 verses
By the morning brightness
I swear by the early hours of the day,
By the Glorious Morning Light,
وَٱلضُّحَىٰ
And [by] the night when it covers with darkness,
And the night when it covers with darkness.
And by the Night when it is still, -
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ
Your Lord has not taken leave of you, [O Muhammad], nor has He detested [you].
Your Lord has not forsaken you, nor has He become displeased,
Thy Guardian - Lord hath not forsaken thee, nor is He displeased.
مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ
And the Hereafter is better for you than the first [life].
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.
وَلَلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ
And your Lord is going to give you, and you will be satisfied.
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.
وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰٓ
Did He not find you an orphan and give [you] refuge?
Did He not find you an orphan and give you shelter?
Did He not find thee an orphan and give thee shelter (and care)?
أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَـَٔاوَىٰ
And He found you lost and guided [you],
And find you lost (that is, unrecognized by men) and guide (them to you)?
And He found thee wandering, and He gave thee guidance.
وَوَجَدَكَ ضَآلًّا فَهَدَىٰ
And He found you poor and made [you] self - sufficient.
And find you in want and make you to be free from want?
And He found thee in need, and made thee independent.
وَوَجَدَكَ عَآئِلًا فَأَغْنَىٰ
So as for the orphan, do not oppress [him].
Therefore, as for the orphan, do not oppress (him).
Therefore, treat not the orphan with harshness,
فَأَمَّا ٱلْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ
And as for the petitioner, do not repel [him].
And as for him who asks, do not chide (him),
Nor repulse the petitioner (unheard);
وَأَمَّا ٱلسَّآئِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ
But as for the favor of your Lord, report [it].
And as for the favor of your Lord, do announce (it).
But the bounty of the Lord - rehearse and proclaim!
وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ
