بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
وَٱلضُّحَىٰ ١
By the morning sunlight,
وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ ٢
and by the night when it covers with darkness[1],
[1] And everything becomes still.
مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ ٣
your Lord has neither forsaken you [O Prophet] nor hated you;
وَلَلۡأٓخِرَةُ خَيۡرٞ لَّكَ مِنَ ٱلۡأُولَىٰ ٤
the Hereafter is better for you than the present life;
وَلَسَوۡفَ يُعۡطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرۡضَىٰٓ ٥
and your Lord will certainly give you so much that you will be well pleased.
أَلَمۡ يَجِدۡكَ يَتِيمٗا فَـَٔاوَىٰ ٦
Did He not find you an orphan then take good care of you?
وَوَجَدَكَ ضَآلّٗا فَهَدَىٰ ٧
Did He not find you unguided then guide you?
وَوَجَدَكَ عَآئِلٗا فَأَغۡنَىٰ ٨
Did He not find you in need then enrich you?
فَأَمَّا ٱلۡيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقۡهَرۡ ٩
So do not mistreat the orphan,
وَأَمَّا ٱلسَّآئِلَ فَلَا تَنۡهَرۡ ١٠
nor repulse the beggar[2];
[2] i.e., anyone in need who seeks help.
وَأَمَّا بِنِعۡمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثۡ ١١
and proclaim the favors of your Lord[3].
[3] i.e., be grateful to Allah by proclaiming the favors He has given you.
