Surah “The Morning Hours, The Early Hours, Morning Bright”

as rendered by Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar — 11 verses

By the forenoon
and by the night when it brooded,
thy Lord deserted thee not, nor is He in hatred of thee.
Truly, the last will be better for thee than the first.
And thy Lord will give to thee. Then, thou wilt be well-pleased.
Found He thee not an orphan and He gave thee refuge?
And found He thee one who goes astray, then, He guided thee?
And found He thee one who wants, then, He enriched thee?
So as for the orphan, oppress him not.
And as for one who begs, scold him not.
And as for the divine blessing of thy Lord, divulge it!
