سورة الضحى

١ وَالضُّحَىٰ

Wad-duhaa

By the morning brightness,

٢ وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ

Wal-layli idhaa sajaa

And by the night when it covers with darkness,

٣ مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ

Maa wadda'aka rabbuka wa maa qalaa

Your Lord has not forsaken you, nor has He become displeased.

٤ وَلَلْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَّكَ مِنَ الْأُولَىٰ

Wa lal-aakhiratu khayrul-laka minal-oolaa

And the Hereafter is better for you than the present life.

٥ وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰ

Wa la-sawfa yu'teeka rabbuka fatardaa

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

٦ أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَآوَىٰ

Alam yajidka yateeman fa-aawaa

Did He not find you an orphan and give you shelter?

٧ وَوَجَدَكَ ضَالًّا فَهَدَىٰ

Wa wajadaka daallan fahadaa

And He found you lost and guided you.

٨ وَوَجَدَكَ عَائِلًا فَأَغْنَىٰ

Wa wajadaka 'aa-ilan fa-aghnaa

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

٩ فَأَمَّا الْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ

Fa-ammal-yateema falaa taqhar

So as for the orphan, do not oppress him.

١٠ وَأَمَّا السَّائِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ

Wa ammas-saa-ila falaa tanhar

And as for the one who asks, do not repel him.

١١ وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ

Wa ammaa bini'mati rabbika fahaddith

And as for the favor of your Lord, proclaim it.
