The Morning Hours

Meccan
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

93:1

وَٱلضُّحَىٰ
Wad duhaa
I swear by the early hours of the day,

93:2

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ
Wal laili iza sajaa
And the night when it covers with darkness.

93:3

مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ
Ma wad da'aka rabbuka wa ma qalaa
Your Lord has not forsaken you, nor has He become displeased,

93:4

وَلَلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌۭ لَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ
Walal-aakhiratu khairul laka minal-oola
And surely what comes after is better for you than that which has gone before.

93:5

وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰٓ
Wa la sawfa y'uteeka rabbuka fatarda
And soon will your Lord give you so that you shall be well pleased.

93:6

أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًۭا فَـَٔاوَىٰ
Alam ya jidka yateeman fa aawaa
Did He not find you an orphan and give you shelter?

93:7

وَوَجَدَكَ ضَآلًّۭا فَهَدَىٰ
Wa wa jadaka daal lan fahada
And find you lost (that is, unrecognized by men) and guide (them to you)?

93:8

وَوَجَدَكَ عَآئِلًۭا فَأَغْنَىٰ
Wa wa jadaka 'aa-ilan fa aghnaa
And find you in want and make you to be free from want?

93:9

فَأَمَّا ٱلْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ
Fa am mal yateema fala taqhar
Therefore, as for the orphan, do not oppress (him).

93:10

وَأَمَّا ٱلسَّآئِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ
Wa am mas saa-ila fala tanhar
And as for him who asks, do not chide (him),

93:11

وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ
Wa amma bi ni'mati rabbika fahad dith
And as for the favor of your Lord, do announce (it).
