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