الضحى

وَٱلضُّحَىٰ

wal-ḍuḥā

By the morning brightness

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ

wa-al-layli idhā sajā

And [by] the night when it covers with darkness,

مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ

mā waddaʿaka rabbuka wamā qalā

Your Lord has not taken leave of you, [O Muḥammad], nor has He detested [you].

وَلَلْـَٔاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌۭ لَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ

walalākhiratu khayrun laka mina l-ūlā

And the Hereafter is better for you than the first [life].

وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰٓ

walasawfa yuʿ'ṭīka rabbuka fatarḍā

And your Lord is going to give you, and you will be satisfied.

أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًۭا فَـَٔاوَىٰ

alam yajid'ka yatīman faāwā

Did He not find you an orphan and give [you] refuge?

وَوَجَدَكَ ضَآلًّۭا فَهَدَىٰ

wawajadaka ḍāllan fahadā

And He found you lost and guided [you],

وَوَجَدَكَ عَآئِلًۭا فَأَغْنَىٰ

wawajadaka ʿāilan fa-aghnā

And He found you poor and made [you] self-sufficient.

فَأَمَّا ٱلْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ

fa-ammā l-yatīma falā taqhar

So as for the orphan, do not oppress [him].

وَأَمَّا ٱلسَّآئِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ

wa-ammā l-sāila falā tanhar

And as for the petitioner, do not repel [him].

وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ

wa-ammā biniʿ'mati rabbika faḥaddith

But as for the favor of your Lord, report [it].
