The Morning Hours, The Early Hours, Morning Bright — Muhammad Asad Translation – Parallel Quran

1 The Brightness of the Day

وَالضُّحَىٰ

CONSIDER the bright morning hours

وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ

and the night when it grows still and dark

Waallayli itha saja

مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ

Thy Sustainer has not forsaken thee, nor does He scorn thee

Ma waddaAAaka rabbuka wama qala

وَلَلْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَّكَ مِنَ الْأُولَىٰ

for, indeed, the life to come will be better for thee than this earlier part [of thy life]

Walal-akhiratu khayrun laka mina al-oola

وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰ

And, indeed, in time will thy Sustainer grant thee [what thy heart desires], and thou shalt be well-pleased

Walasawfa yuAAteeka rabbuka fatarda

أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَآوَىٰ

Has He not found thee an orphan, and given thee shelter

Alam yajidka yateeman faawa

وَوَجَدَكَ ضَالًّا فَهَدَىٰ

And found thee lost on thy way, and guided thee

Wawajadaka dallan fahada

وَوَجَدَكَ عَائِلًا فَأَغْنَىٰ

And found thee in want, and given thee sufficiency

Wawajadaka AAa-ilan faaghna

فَأَمَّا الْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ

Therefore, the orphan shalt thou never wrong

Faamma alyateema fala taqhar

وَأَمَّا السَّائِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ

and him that seeks [thy] help shalt thou never chide

Waamma alssa-ila fala tanhar

وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ

and of thy Sustainer's blessings shalt thou [ever] speak

Waamma biniAAmati rabbika fahaddith
