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!
