١
By the morning brightness
٢
and by the night when it grows still,
٣
your Lord has not forsaken you [Prophet], nor does He hate you,
٤
and the future will be better for you than the past;
٥
your Lord is sure to give you so much that you will be well satisfied.
٦
Did He not find you an orphan and shelter you?
٧
Did He not find you lost and guide you?
٨
Did He not find you in need and make you self-sufficient?
٩
So do not be harsh with the orphan
١٠
and do not chide the one who asks for help;
١١
talk about the blessings of your Lord.
