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