ٱلضُّحَىٰ
The Forenoon
وَٱلضُّحَىٰ
Wad duhaa
By the Glorious Morning Light,
وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ
Wal laili iza sajaa
And by the Night when it is still,-
مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ
Ma wad da'aka rabbuka wa ma qalaa
Thy Guardian-Lord hath not forsaken thee, nor is He displeased.
وَلَلۡأٓخِرَةُ خَيۡرٞ لَّكَ مِنَ ٱلۡأُولَىٰ
Walal-aakhiratu khairul laka minal-oola
And verily the Hereafter will be better for thee than the present.
وَلَسَوۡفَ يُعۡطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرۡضَىٰٓ
Wa la sawfa y'uteeka rabbuka fatarda
And soon will thy Guardian-Lord give thee (that wherewith) thou shalt be well-pleased.
أَلَمۡ يَجِدۡكَ يَتِيمٗا فَـَٔاوَىٰ
Alam ya jidka yateeman fa aawaa
Did He not find thee an orphan and give thee shelter (and care)?
وَوَجَدَكَ ضَآلّٗا فَهَدَىٰ
Wa wa jadaka daal lan fahada
And He found thee wandering, and He gave thee guidance.
وَوَجَدَكَ عَآئِلٗا فَأَغۡنَىٰ
Wa wa jadaka 'aa-ilan fa aghnaa
And He found thee in need, and made thee independent.
فَأَمَّا ٱلۡيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقۡهَرۡ
Fa am mal yateema fala taqhar
Therefore, treat not the orphan with harshness,
وَأَمَّا ٱلسَّآئِلَ فَلَا تَنۡهَرۡ
Wa am mas saa-ila fala tanhar
Nor repulse the petitioner (unheard);
وَأَمَّا بِنِعۡمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثۡ
Wa amma bi ni'mati rabbika fahad dith
But the bounty of the Lord - rehearse and proclaim!
