الضُّحى

By the morning sunlight,

and by the night when it covers with darkness1,

your Lord has neither forsaken you [O Prophet] nor hated you;

the Hereafter is better for you than the present life;

and your Lord will certainly give you so much that you will be well pleased.

Did He not find you an orphan then take good care of you?

Did He not find you unguided then guide you?

Did He not find you in need then enrich you?

So do not mistreat the orphan,

nor repulse the beggar2;

and proclaim the favors of your Lord3.
