وَٱلضُّحَىٰ١

By the morning hours

Wadduha

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ٢

And by the night when it is stillest,

Wallayli itha saja

مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ٣

Thy Lord hath not forsaken thee nor doth He hate thee,

Ma waddaAAaka rabbuka wama qala

وَلَلْـَٔاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ٤

And verily the latter portion will be better for thee than the former,

Walal-akhiratu khayrun laka minaal-oola

وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰٓ٥

And verily thy Lord will give unto thee so that thou wilt be content.

Walasawfa yuAAteeka rabbuka fatarda

أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَـَٔاوَىٰ٦

Did He not find thee an orphan and protect (thee)?

Alam yajidka yateeman faawa

وَوَجَدَكَ ضَآلًّا فَهَدَىٰ٧

Did He not find thee wandering and direct (thee)?

Wawajadaka dallan fahada

وَوَجَدَكَ عَآئِلًا فَأَغْنَىٰ٨

Did He not find thee destitute and enrich (thee)?

Wawajadaka AAa-ilan faaghna

فَأَمَّا ٱلْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ٩

Therefor the orphan oppress not,

Faamma alyateema fala taqhar

وَأَمَّا ٱلسَّآئِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ١٠

Therefor the beggar drive not away,

Waamma assa-ila falatanhar

وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ١١

Therefor of the bounty of thy Lord be thy discourse.
