بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالضُّحَىٰ

By the morning hours

وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ

And by the night when it is stillest,

مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ

Thy Lord hath not forsaken thee nor doth He hate thee,

وَلَلْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنَ الْأُولَىٰ

And verily the latter portion will be better for thee than the former,

وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰ

And verily thy Lord will give unto thee so that thou wilt be content.

أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَآوَىٰ

Did He not find thee an orphan and protect (thee)?

وَوَجَدَكَ ضَالًّا فَهَدَىٰ

Did He not find thee wandering and direct (thee)?

وَوَجَدَكَ عَائِلًا فَأَغْنَىٰ

Did He not find thee destitute and enrich (thee)?

فَأَمَّا الْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ

Therefor the orphan oppress not,

وَأَمَّا السَّائِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ

Therefor the beggar drive not away,

وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ

Therefor of the bounty of thy Lord be thy discourse.
