93: The Morning Hours, Morning Bright!

1

By the Glorious Morning Light,

2

And by the Night when it is still,-

3

Thy Guardian-Lord hath not forsaken thee, nor is He displeased.

4

And verily the Hereafter will be better for thee than the present.

5

And soon will thy Guardian-Lord give thee (that wherewith) thou shalt be well-pleased.

6

Did He not find thee an orphan and give thee shelter (and care)?

7

And He found thee wandering, and He gave thee guidance.

8

And He found thee in need, and made thee independent.

9

Therefore, treat not the orphan with harshness,

10

Nor repulse the petitioner (unheard);

11

But the bounty of the Lord - rehearse and proclaim!
