The Morning Hours
الضحى
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
وَٱلضُّحَىٰ ١
By the morning hours
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ ٢
And by the night when it is stillest,
مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ ٣
Thy Lord hath not forsaken thee nor doth He hate thee,
وَلَلْأَخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ ٤
And verily the latter portion will be better for thee than the former,
وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰٓ ٥
And verily thy Lord will give unto thee so that thou wilt be content.
أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَـَٔـاوَىٰ ٦
Did He not find thee an orphan and protect (thee)?
وَوَجَدَكَ ضَآلاًّ فَهَدَىٰ ٧
Did He not find thee wandering and direct (thee)?
وَوَجَدَكَ عَآئِلاً فَأَغْنَىٰ ٨
Did He not find thee destitute and enrich (thee)?
فَأَمَّا ٱلْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ ٩
Therefor the orphan oppress not,
وَأَمَّا ٱلسَّآئِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ ١٠
Therefor the beggar drive not away,
وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ ١١
Therefor of the bounty of thy Lord be thy discourse.
