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