By the Glorious Morning Light,
And by the Night when it is still,-
مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ 3
Thy Guardian-Lord hath not forsaken thee, nor is He displeased.
وَلَلْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنَ الْأُولَىٰ 4
And verily the Hereafter will be better for thee than the present.
وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰ 5
And soon will thy Guardian-Lord give thee (that wherewith) thou shalt be well-pleased.
أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَآوَىٰ 6
Did He not find thee an orphan and give thee shelter (and care)?
And He found thee wandering, and He gave thee guidance.
وَوَجَدَكَ عَائِلًا فَأَغْنَىٰ 8
And He found thee in need, and made thee independent.
فَأَمَّا الْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ 9
Therefore, treat not the orphan with harshness,
وَأَمَّا السَّائِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ 10
Nor repulse the petitioner (unheard);
وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ 11
But the bounty of the Lord - rehearse and proclaim!
