The Morning Hours -
By the white forenoon
-
and the brooding night!
-
Thy Lord has neither forsaken thee nor hates thee
-
and the Last shall be better for thee than the First.
-
Thy Lord shall give thee, and thou shalt be satisfied.
-
Did He not find thee an orphan, and shelter thee?
-
Did He not find thee erring, and guide thee?
-
Did He not find thee needy, and suffice thee?
-
As for the orphan, do not oppress him,
-
and as for the beggar, scold him not;
-
and as for thy Lord's blessing, declare it.
