The Morning Hours, The Early Hours, Morning Bright — George Sale Translation – Parallel Quran

1 The Brightness of the Day

وَالضُّحَىٰ

By the brightness of the morning

وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ

and by the night, when it groweth dark

Waallayli itha saja

مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ

Thy Lord hath not forsaken thee, neither doth He hate thee

Ma waddaAAaka rabbuka wama qala

وَلَلْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَّكَ مِنَ الْأُولَىٰ

Verily the life to come shall be better for thee than this present life

Walal-akhiratu khayrun laka mina al-oola

وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰ

And thy Lord shall give thee a reward wherewith thou shalt be well pleased

Walasawfa yuAAteeka rabbuka fatarda

أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَآوَىٰ

Did He not find thee an orphan, and hath He not taken care of thee

Alam yajidka yateeman faawa

وَوَجَدَكَ ضَالًّا فَهَدَىٰ

And did He not find thee wandering in error, and hath He not guided thee into the truth

Wawajadaka dallan fahada

وَوَجَدَكَ عَائِلًا فَأَغْنَىٰ

And did He not find thee needy, and hath He not enriched thee

Wawajadaka AAa-ilan faaghna

فَأَمَّا الْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ

Wherefore oppress not the orphan

Faamma alyateema fala taqhar

وَأَمَّا السَّائِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ

neither repulse the beggar

Waamma alssa-ila fala tanhar

وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ

But declare the goodness of thy Lord

Waamma biniAAmati rabbika fahaddith
