The Morning Hours, The Early Hours, Morning Bright — Thomas Cleary Translation – Parallel Quran

1 The Brightness of the Day

وَالضُّحَىٰ

By the forenoon, bright,

وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ

and the night when dark and quiet,

Waallayli itha saja

مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ

your Lord has not abandoned you and does not despise you.

Ma waddaAAaka rabbuka wama qala

وَلَلْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَّكَ مِنَ الْأُولَىٰ

Surely hereafter is better for you than what was before.

Walal-akhiratu khayrun laka mina al-oola

وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰ

And your Lord will surely give to you, and you will be pleased.

Walasawfa yuAAteeka rabbuka fatarda

أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَآوَىٰ

Did God not find you orphaned, and provide you refuge?

Alam yajidka yateeman faawa

وَوَجَدَكَ ضَالًّا فَهَدَىٰ

And find you wandering, and guide you?

Wawajadaka dallan fahada

وَوَجَدَكَ عَائِلًا فَأَغْنَىٰ

And find you needy, and enrich you?

Wawajadaka AAa-ilan faaghna

فَأَمَّا الْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ

So do not oppress the orphan,

Faamma alyateema fala taqhar

وَأَمَّا السَّائِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ

or refuse the one who seeks.

Waamma alssa-ila fala tanhar

وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ

And tell of the bounty of your Lord.

Waamma biniAAmati rabbika fahaddith
