وَٱلضُّحَىٰ ۝١

wal-ḍuḥā

By the morning brightness

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ ۝٢

wa-al-layli idhā sajā

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

مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ ۝٣

mā waddaʿaka rabbuka wamā qalā

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

وَلَلْـَٔاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ ۝٤

walalākhiratu khayrun laka mina l-ūlā

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

وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰٓ ۝٥

walasawfa yuʿ'ṭīka rabbuka fatarḍā

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

أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَـَٔاوَىٰ ۝٦

alam yajid'ka yatīman faāwā

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

وَوَجَدَكَ ضَآلًّا فَهَدَىٰ ۝٧

wawajadaka ḍāllan fahadā

And He found you lost and guided [you],

وَوَجَدَكَ عَآئِلًا فَأَغْنَىٰ ۝٨

wawajadaka ʿāilan fa-aghnā

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

فَأَمَّا ٱلْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ ۝٩

fa-ammā l-yatīma falā taqhar

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

وَأَمَّا ٱلسَّآئِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ ۝١٠

wa-ammā l-sāila falā tanhar

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

وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ ۝١١

wa-ammā biniʿ'mati rabbika faḥaddith

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