سُورَةُ الضُّحَىٰ

The Morning Hours11 verses • Meccan

1
بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِیمِ وَٱلضُّحَىٰ

CONSIDER the bright morning hours,

2
وَٱلَّیۡلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ

and the night when it grows still and dark.

3
مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ

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

4
وَلَلۡـَٔاخِرَةُ خَیۡرࣱ لَّكَ مِنَ ٱلۡأُولَىٰ

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

5
وَلَسَوۡفَ یُعۡطِیكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرۡضَىٰۤ

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

6
أَلَمۡ یَجِدۡكَ یَتِیمࣰا فَـَٔاوَىٰ

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

7
وَوَجَدَكَ ضَاۤلࣰّا فَهَدَىٰ

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

8
وَوَجَدَكَ عَاۤىِٕلࣰا فَأَغۡنَىٰ

And found thee in want, and given thee sufficiency?

9
فَأَمَّا ٱلۡیَتِیمَ فَلَا تَقۡهَرۡ

Therefore, the orphan shalt thou never wrong,

10
وَأَمَّا ٱلسَّاۤىِٕلَ فَلَا تَنۡهَرۡ

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

11
وَأَمَّا بِنِعۡمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثۡ

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