وَالضُّحَىٰ ١
By the Glorious Morning Light,
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
وَالضُّحَىٰ ١
By the Glorious Morning Light,
وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ ٢
And by the Night when it is still,-
مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ ٣
Thy Guardian-Lord hath not forsaken thee, nor is He displeased.
وَلَلْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنَ الْأُولَىٰ ٤
And verily the Hereafter will be better for thee than the present.
وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰ ٥
And soon will thy Guardian-Lord give thee (that wherewith) thou shalt be well-pleased.
أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَآوَىٰ ٦
Did He not find thee an orphan and give thee shelter (and care)?
وَوَجَدَكَ ضَالًّا فَهَدَىٰ ٧
And He found thee wandering, and He gave thee guidance.
وَوَجَدَكَ عَائِلًا فَأَغْنَىٰ ٨
And He found thee in need, and made thee independent.
فَأَمَّا الْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ ٩
Therefore, treat not the orphan with harshness,
وَأَمَّا السَّائِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ ١٠
Nor repulse the petitioner (unheard);
وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ ١١
But the bounty of the Lord - rehearse and proclaim!
