| وَالضُّحَىٰ {١} |
1. I call to witness the growing brightness of the forenoon, |
| وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ {٢} |
2. And the night when it becomes still, |
| مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ {٣} |
3. (O Prophet!) your Lord has not forsaken you, nor is He displeased (with you). |
| وَلَلْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنَ الْأُولَىٰ {٤} |
4. Surely, (your) future is better for you than your past. |
| وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰ {٥} |
5. Your Lord will soon give you (what you desire), and you will be well pleased (with Him). |
| أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَآوَىٰ {٦} |
6. Did He not find you an orphan and take (you) under (His) care? |
| وَوَجَدَكَ ضَالًّا فَهَدَىٰ {٧} |
7. He found you lost in (His) love (and that of His people), and gave you guidance (so as to enable you help the people reach the goal), |
| وَوَجَدَكَ عَائِلًا فَأَغْنَىٰ {٨} |
8. And He found you having a large family to support, He freed you from want (of every kind). |
| فَأَمَّا الْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ {٩} |
9. Therefore as to the orphan, do not allow him to be an oppressed person. |
| وَأَمَّا السَّائِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ {١٠} |
10. And as for the person who seeks (your assistance) do not chide him away. |
| وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ {١١} |
11. Then as to the blessings and favours of your Lord, keep on proclaiming (your gratitude by doing similar favours to your fellow beings). |
