CONSIDER the bright morning hours,
Ayah 1
and the night when it grows still and dark.
Ayah 2
Thy Sustainer has not forsaken thee, nor does He scorn thee:
Ayah 3
for, indeed, the life to come will be better for thee than this earlier part [of thy life]!
Ayah 4
And, indeed, in time will thy Sustainer grant thee [what thy heart desires], and thou shalt be well-pleased.
Ayah 5
Has He not found thee an orphan, and given thee shelter?
Ayah 6
And found thee lost on thy way, and guided thee?
Ayah 7
And found thee in want, and given thee sufficiency?
Ayah 8
Therefore, the orphan shalt thou never wrong,
Ayah 9
and him that seeks [thy] help shalt thou never chide,
Ayah 10
and of thy Sustainer's blessings shalt thou [ever] speak.
Ayah 11
