Chapter 93, 11 verses
By the Glorious Morning Light,
By the morning brightness
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والضحى
Waaldduha
And by the Night when it is still, -
And [by] the night when it covers with darkness,
والليل إذا سجى
Waallayli itha saja
Thy Guardian - Lord hath not forsaken thee, nor is He displeased.
Your Lord has not taken leave of you, [O Muhammad], nor has He detested [you].
ما ودعك ربك وما قلى
Ma waddaAAaka rabbuka wama qala
And verily the Hereafter will be better for thee than the present.
And the Hereafter is better for you than the first [life].
وللآخرة خير لك من الأولى
Walalakhiratu khayrun laka mina aloola
And soon will thy Guardian - Lord give thee (that wherewith) thou shalt be well - pleased.
And your Lord is going to give you, and you will be satisfied.
ولسوف يعطيك ربك فترضى
Walasawfa yuAAteeka rabbuka fatarda
Did He not find thee an orphan and give thee shelter (and care)?
Did He not find you an orphan and give [you] refuge?
ألم يجدك يتيما فآوى
Alam yajidka yateeman faawa
And He found thee wandering, and He gave thee guidance.
And He found you lost and guided [you],
ووجدك ضالا فهدى
Wawajadaka dallan fahada
And He found thee in need, and made thee independent.
And He found you poor and made [you] self - sufficient.
ووجدك عائلا فأغنى
Wawajadaka AAailan faaghna
Therefore, treat not the orphan with harshness,
So as for the orphan, do not oppress [him].
فأما اليتيم فلا تقهر
Faamma alyateema fala taqhar
Nor repulse the petitioner (unheard);
And as for the petitioner, do not repel [him].
وأما السائل فلا تنهر
Waamma alssaila fala tanhar
But the bounty of the Lord - rehearse and proclaim!
But as for the favor of your Lord, report [it].
وأما بنعمة ربك فحدث
Waamma biniAAmati rabbika fahaddith
