1

وَٱلضُّحَىٰ 

CONSIDER the bright morning hours,

2

وَٱلَّیۡلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ 

and the night when it grows still and dark.

3

مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ 

Thy Sustainer has not forsaken thee, nor does He scorn thee:

4

وَلَلۡءَاخِرَةُ خَیۡرࣱ لَّكَ مِنَ ٱلۡأُولَىٰ 

for, indeed, the life to come will be better for thee than this earlier part [of thy life]!

5

وَلَسَوۡفَ یُعۡطِیكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرۡضَىٰۤ 

And, indeed, in time will thy Sustainer grant thee [what thy heart desires], and thou shalt be well-pleased.

6

أَلَمۡ یَجِدۡكَ یَتِیمࣰا فَءَاوَىٰ 

Has He not found thee an orphan, and given thee shelter?

7

وَوَجَدَكَ ضَاۤلࣰّا فَهَدَىٰ 

And found thee lost on thy way, and guided thee?

8

وَوَجَدَكَ عَاۤئِلࣰا فَأَغۡنَىٰ 

And found thee in want, and given thee sufficiency?

9

فَأَمَّا ٱلۡیَتِیمَ فَلَا تَقۡهَرۡ 

Therefore, the orphan shalt thou never wrong,

10

وَأَمَّا ٱلسَّاۤئِلَ فَلَا تَنۡهَرۡ 

and him that seeks [thy] help shalt thou never chide,
