Chapter 93, 11 verses
By the morning brightness
Waaldduha
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالضُّحَىٰ
By the Glorious Morning Light,
And [by] the night when it covers with darkness,
Waallayli itha saja
وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ
And by the Night when it is still, -
Your Lord has not taken leave of you, [O Muhammad], nor has He detested [you].
Ma waddaAAaka rabbuka wama qala
مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ
Thy Guardian - Lord hath not forsaken thee, nor is He displeased.
And the Hereafter is better for you than the first [life].
Walalakhiratu khayrun laka mina aloola
وَلَلْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَّكَ مِنَ الْأُولَىٰ
And verily the Hereafter will be better for thee than the present.
And your Lord is going to give you, and you will be satisfied.
Walasawfa yuAAteeka rabbuka fatarda
وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰ
And soon will thy Guardian - Lord give thee (that wherewith) thou shalt be well - pleased.
Did He not find you an orphan and give [you] refuge?
Alam yajidka yateeman faawa
أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَآوَىٰ
Did He not find thee an orphan and give thee shelter (and care)?
And He found you lost and guided [you],
Wawajadaka dallan fahada
وَوَجَدَكَ ضَالًّا فَهَدَىٰ
And He found thee wandering, and He gave thee guidance.
And He found you poor and made [you] self - sufficient.
Wawajadaka AAailan faaghna
وَوَجَدَكَ عَائِلًا فَأَغْنَىٰ
And He found thee in need, and made thee independent.
So as for the orphan, do not oppress [him].
Faamma alyateema fala taqhar
فَأَمَّا الْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ
Therefore, treat not the orphan with harshness,
And as for the petitioner, do not repel [him].
Waamma alssaila fala tanhar
وَأَمَّا السَّائِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ
Nor repulse the petitioner (unheard);
But as for the favor of your Lord, report [it].
Waamma biniAAmati rabbika fahaddith
وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ
But the bounty of the Lord - rehearse and proclaim!
