Surah Ad-Dhuhaa

وَٱلضُّحَىٰ

CONSIDER the bright morning hours,

وَٱلَّيْلِإِذَاسَجَىٰ

and the night when it grows still and dark.

مَاوَدَّعَكَرَبُّكَوَمَاقَلَىٰ

Thy Sustainer has not forsaken thee, nor does He scorn thee:

وَلَلْءَاخِرَةُخَيْرٌۭلَّكَمِنَٱلْأُولَىٰ

for, indeed, the life to come will be better for thee than this earlier part [of thy life]!

وَلَسَوْفَيُعْطِيكَرَبُّكَفَتَرْضَىٰٓ

And, indeed, in time will thy Sustainer grant thee [what thy heart desires], and thou shalt be well-pleased.

أَلَمْيَجِدْكَيَتِيمًۭافَـَٔاوَىٰ

Has He not found thee an orphan, and given thee shelter?

وَوَجَدَكَضَآلًّۭافَهَدَىٰ

And found thee lost on thy way, and guided thee?

وَوَجَدَكَعَآئِلًۭافَأَغْنَىٰ

And found thee in want, and given thee sufficiency?

فَأَمَّاٱلْيَتِيمَفَلَاتَقْهَرْ

Therefore, the orphan shalt thou never wrong,

وَأَمَّاٱلسَّآئِلَفَلَاتَنْهَرْ

and him that seeks [thy] help shalt thou never chide,

وَأَمَّابِنِعْمَةِرَبِّكَفَحَدِّثْ

and of thy Sustainer's blessings shalt thou [ever] speak.
