بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالضُّحَىٰ

By the bright forenoon,

وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ

and by the night when it covers the world with peace:

مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ

(O Prophet), your Lord has neither forsaken you, nor is He displeased.

وَلَلْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنَ الْأُولَىٰ

Indeed what is to come will be better for you than what has gone by.

وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰ

Verily your Lord will soon give you so amply that you will be well-pleased.

أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَآوَىٰ

Did He not find you an orphan and then gave you shelter?

وَوَجَدَكَ ضَالًّا فَهَدَىٰ

Did He not find you unaware of the Right Way, and then directed you to it?

وَوَجَدَكَ عَائِلًا فَأَغْنَىٰ

And did He not find you in want, and then enriched you?

فَأَمَّا الْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ

Therefore, be not harsh with the orphan;

وَأَمَّا السَّائِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ

and chide not him who asks,

وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ

and proclaim the bounty of your Lord.
