بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلضُّحَىٰ
CONSIDER the bright morning hours,
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ
and the night when it grows still and dark.
مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ
Thy Sustainer has not forsaken thee, nor does He scorn thee:
وَلَلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌۭ لَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ
for, indeed, the life to come will be better for thee than this earlier part [of thy life]!
وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰٓ
And, indeed, in time will thy Sustainer grant thee [what thy heart desires], and thou shalt be well-pleased.
أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًۭا فَـَٔاوَىٰ
Has He not found thee an orphan, and given thee shelter?
وَوَجَدَكَ ضَآلًّۭا فَهَدَىٰ
And found thee lost on thy way, and guided thee?
وَوَجَدَكَ عَآئِلًۭا فَأَغْنَىٰ
And found thee in want, and given thee sufficiency?
فَأَمَّا ٱلْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ
Therefore, the orphan shalt thou never wrong,
وَأَمَّا ٱلسَّآئِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ
and him that seeks [thy] help shalt thou never chide,
وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ
and of thy Sustainer's blessings shalt thou [ever] speak.
