By the morning brightness,

and by the night when it is calm!
مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلٰىؕ(3)
MAA WADDA-A’KA RABBOKA WA MAA QALAA.
Your Lord has neither forsaken you, nor is He displeased with you,
وَلَلْاٰخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَّكَ مِنَ الْاُوْلٰىؕ(4)
WA LAL-AAKHERATO KHAYRUL LAKA MENAL OOLAA.
and the Hereafter shall be better for you than the world.
وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيْكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضٰىؕ(5)

Soon your Lord will give you [that with which] you will be pleased.
اَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيْمًا فَاٰوٰى(6)
ALAM YAJIDKA YATEEMAN FA-AAWAA.
Did He not find you an orphan, and shelter you?

Did He not find you astray, and guide you?

Did He not find you needy, and enrich you?
فَاَمَّا الْيَتِيْمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْؕ(9)

So, as for the orphan, do not oppress him;
وَاَمَّا السَّآئِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْؕ(10)
WA AMMAS SAAA-ELA FALAA TANHAR.
and as for the beggar, do not chide him;
وَاَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ(11)
WA AMMAA BE-NE’MATE RABBEKA FA-HADDIS.
and as for your Lord’s blessing, proclaim it!
