بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
وَٱلضُّحَىٰ1
By the Glorious Morning Light,
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ2
And by the Night when it is still,-
مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ3
Thy Guardian-Lord hath not forsaken thee, nor is He displeased.
وَلَلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌۭ لَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ4
And verily the Hereafter will be better for thee than the present.
وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰٓ5
And soon will thy Guardian-Lord give thee (that wherewith) thou shalt be well-pleased.
أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًۭا فَـَٔاوَىٰ6
Did He not find thee an orphan and give thee shelter (and care)?
وَوَجَدَكَ ضَآلًّۭا فَهَدَىٰ7
And He found thee wandering, and He gave thee guidance.
وَوَجَدَكَ عَآئِلًۭا فَأَغْنَىٰ8
And He found thee in need, and made thee independent.
فَأَمَّا ٱلْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ9
Therefore, treat not the orphan with harshness,
وَأَمَّا ٱلسَّآئِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ10
Nor repulse the petitioner (unheard);
وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ11
But the bounty of the Lord - rehearse and proclaim!
