| بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمـَنِ الرَّحِيمِ | |
| In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. | |
| وَالضُّحَى |
01 |
| By the forenoon (after sun-rise); | |
| وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَى |
02 |
| And by the night when it is still (or darkens); | |
| مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَى |
03 |
| Your Lord (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him) has neither forsaken you nor hated you. | |
| وَلَلْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَّكَ مِنَ الْأُولَى |
04 |
| And indeed the Hereafter is better for you than the present (life of this world). | |
| وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَى |
05 |
| And verily, your Lord will give you (all i.e. good) so that you shall be well-pleased. | |
| أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَآوَى |
06 |
| Did He not find you (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him) an orphan and gave you a refuge? | |
| وَوَجَدَكَ ضَالًّا فَهَدَى |
07 |
| And He found you unaware (of the Qur’ân, its legal laws, and Prophethood, etc.) and guided you? | |
| وَوَجَدَكَ عَائِلًا فَأَغْنَى |
08 |
| And He found you poor, and made you rich (selfsufficient with selfcontentment, etc.)? | |
| فَأَمَّا الْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ |
09 |
| Therefore, treat not the orphan with oppression, | |
| وَأَمَّا السَّائِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ |
10 |
| And repulse not the beggar; | |
| وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ |
11 |
| And proclaim the Grace of your Lord (i.e. the Prophethood and all other Graces). | |
