بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالضُّحَىٰ

By the forenoon (after sun-rise);

وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ

And by the night when it is still (or darkens);

مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ

Your Lord (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) has neither forsaken you nor hated you.

وَلَلْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنَ الْأُولَىٰ

And indeed the Hereafter is better for you than the present (life of this world).

وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰ

And verily, your Lord will give you (all i.e. good) so that you shall be well-pleased.

أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَآوَىٰ

Did He not find you (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) an orphan and gave you a refuge?

وَوَجَدَكَ ضَالًّا فَهَدَىٰ

And He found you unaware (of the Quran, its legal laws, and Prophethood, etc.) and guided you?

وَوَجَدَكَ عَائِلًا فَأَغْنَىٰ

And He found you poor, and made you rich (selfsufficient with selfcontentment, etc.)?

فَأَمَّا الْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ

Therefore, treat not the orphan with oppression,

وَأَمَّا السَّائِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ

And repulse not the beggar;

وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ

And proclaim the Grace of your Lord (i.e. the Prophethood and all other Graces).
