وَٱلضُّحَىٰ ١
Naapa kwa mchana!
By the morning brightness
Maana: "Mchana wa Asubuhi"
وَٱلضُّحَىٰ ١
Naapa kwa mchana!
By the morning brightness
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ ٢
Na kwa usiku unapo tanda!
And [by] the night when it covers with darkness,
مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ ٣
Mola wako Mlezi hakukuacha, wala hakukasirika nawe.
Your Lord has not taken leave of you, [O Muhammad], nor has He detested [you].
وَلَلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌۭ لَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ ٤
Na bila ya shaka wakati ujao utakuwa bora kwako kuliko ulio tangulia.
And the Hereafter is better for you than the first [life].
وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰٓ ٥
Na Mola wako Mlezi atakupa mpaka uridhike.
And your Lord is going to give you, and you will be satisfied.
أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًۭا فَـَٔاوَىٰ ٦
Kwani hakukukuta yatima akakupa makaazi?
Did He not find you an orphan and give [you] refuge?
وَوَجَدَكَ ضَآلًّۭا فَهَدَىٰ ٧
Na akakukuta umepotea akakuongoa?
And He found you lost and guided [you],
وَوَجَدَكَ عَآئِلًۭا فَأَغْنَىٰ ٨
Akakukuta mhitaji akakutosheleza?
And He found you poor and made [you] self-sufficient.
فَأَمَّا ٱلْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ ٩
Basi yatima usimwonee!
So as for the orphan, do not oppress [him].
وَأَمَّا ٱلسَّآئِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ ١٠
Na anaye omba au kuuliza usimkaripie!
And as for the petitioner, do not repel [him].
وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ ١١
Na neema za Mola wako Mlezi zisimlie.
But as for the favor of your Lord, report [it].
