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