Ayah	Text in عربي, English (Yusuf Ali translation), عربي (بدون تشكيل) and transliteration
1	By the Glorious Morning Light, بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والضحى Wad duhaa
2	And by the Night when it is still,- والليل إذا سجى Wal laili iza sajaa
3	Thy Guardian-Lord hath not forsaken thee, nor is He displeased. ما ودعك ربك وما قلى Ma wad da’aka rabbuka wa ma qalaa
4	And verily the Hereafter will be better for thee than the present. وللآخرة خير لك من الأولى Walal-aakhiratu khairul laka minal-oola
5	And soon will thy Guardian-Lord give thee (that wherewith) thou shalt be well-pleased. ولسوف يعطيك ربك فترضى Wa la sawfa y’uteeka rabbuka fatarda
6	Did He not find thee an orphan and give thee shelter (and care)? ألم يجدك يتيما فآوى Alam ya jidka yateeman fa aawaa
7	And He found thee wandering, and He gave thee guidance. ووجدك ضالا فهدى Wa wa jadaka daal lan fahada
8	And He found thee in need, and made thee independent. ووجدك عائلا فأغنى Wa wa jadaka ‘aa-ilan fa aghnaa
9	Therefore, treat not the orphan with harshness, فأما اليتيم فلا تقهر Fa am mal yateema fala taqhar
10	Nor repulse the petitioner (unheard); وأما السائل فلا تنهر Wa am mas saa-ila fala tanhar
11	But the bounty of the Lord – rehearse and proclaim! وأما بنعمة ربك فحدث Wa amma bi ni’mati rabbika fahad dith
