بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالضُّحَىٰ
By the white forenoon
سورة الضحى
The Morning Hours • 11 آیه • مکی
Translated by A. J. Arberry
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالضُّحَىٰ
By the white forenoon
وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ
and the brooding night!
مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ
Thy Lord has neither forsaken thee nor hates thee
وَلَلْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنَ الْأُولَىٰ
and the Last shall be better for thee than the First.
وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰ
Thy Lord shall give thee, and thou shalt be satisfied.
أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَآوَىٰ
Did He not find thee an orphan, and shelter thee?
وَوَجَدَكَ ضَالًّا فَهَدَىٰ
Did He not find thee erring, and guide thee?
وَوَجَدَكَ عَائِلًا فَأَغْنَىٰ
Did He not find thee needy, and suffice thee?
فَأَمَّا الْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ
As for the orphan, do not oppress him,
وَأَمَّا السَّائِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ
and as for the beggar, scold him not;
وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ
and as for thy Lord's blessing, declare it.
