shakir
 
1.  *     I swear by the early hours of the day,
 
2.  *     And the night when it covers with darkness.
 
3.  *     Your Lord has not forsaken you, nor has He become displeased,
 
4.  *     And surely what comes after is better for you than that which has gone before.
 
5.  *     And soon will your Lord give you so that you shall be well pleased.
 
6.  *     Did He not find you an orphan and give you shelter?
 
7.  *     And find you lost (that is, unrecognized by men) and guide (them to you)?
 
8.  *     And find you in want and make you to be free from want?
 
9.  *     Therefore, as for the orphan, do not oppress (him).
 
10.  *     And as for him who asks, do not chide (him),
 
11.  *     And as for the favor of your Lord, do announce (it).
