| 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.* |
