Ad-Duhaa

wal-ḍuḥā

By the morning brightness

wa-al-layli idhā sajā

and by the night when it grows still,

mā waddaʿaka rabbuka wamā qalā

your Lord has not forsaken you [Prophet], nor does He hate you,

walalākhiratu khayrun laka mina l-ūlā

and the future will be better for you than the past;

walasawfa yuʿ'ṭīka rabbuka fatarḍā

your Lord is sure to give you so much that you will be well satisfied.

alam yajid'ka yatīman faāwā

Did He not find you an orphan and shelter you?

wawajadaka ḍāllan fahadā

Did He not find you lost and guide you?

wawajadaka ʿāilan fa-aghnā

Did He not find you in need and make you self-sufficient?

fa-ammā l-yatīma falā taqhar

So do not be harsh with the orphan

wa-ammā l-sāila falā tanhar

and do not chide the one who asks for help;

wa-ammā biniʿ'mati rabbika faḥaddith

talk about the blessings of your Lord.
