Chapter 93, 11 verses
By the Glorious Morning Light,
By the morning brightness
I swear by the early hours of the day,
وَٱلضُّحَىٰ
And by the Night when it is still, -
And [by] the night when it covers with darkness,
And the night when it covers with darkness.
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ
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].
Your Lord has not forsaken you, nor has He become displeased,
مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ
And verily the Hereafter will be better for thee than the present.
And the Hereafter is better for you than the first [life].
And surely what comes after is better for you than that which has gone before.
وَلَلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ
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.
And soon will your Lord give you so that you shall be well pleased.
وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰٓ
Did He not find thee an orphan and give thee shelter (and care)?
Did He not find you an orphan and give [you] refuge?
Did He not find you an orphan and give you shelter?
أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَـَٔاوَىٰ
And He found thee wandering, and He gave thee guidance.
And He found you lost and guided [you],
And find you lost (that is, unrecognized by men) and guide (them to you)?
وَوَجَدَكَ ضَآلًّا فَهَدَىٰ
And He found thee in need, and made thee independent.
And He found you poor and made [you] self - sufficient.
And find you in want and make you to be free from want?
وَوَجَدَكَ عَآئِلًا فَأَغْنَىٰ
Therefore, treat not the orphan with harshness,
So as for the orphan, do not oppress [him].
Therefore, as for the orphan, do not oppress (him).
فَأَمَّا ٱلْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ
Nor repulse the petitioner (unheard);
And as for the petitioner, do not repel [him].
And as for him who asks, do not chide (him),
وَأَمَّا ٱلسَّآئِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ
But the bounty of the Lord - rehearse and proclaim!
But as for the favor of your Lord, report [it].
And as for the favor of your Lord, do announce (it).
وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ
