الـشـمـس

1 By the sun and its brightness

1 I swear by the sun and its brilliance,

1 Waalshshamsi waduhaha

2 And [by] the moon when it follows it

2 And the moon when it follows the sun,

2 Waalqamari itha talaha

3 And [by] the day when it displays it

3 And the day when it shows it,

3 Waalnnahari itha jallaha

4 And [by] the night when it covers it

4 And the night when it draws a veil over it,

4 Waallayli itha yaghshaha

5 And [by] the sky and He who constructed it

5 And the heaven and Him Who made it,

5 Waalssamai wama banaha

6 And [by] the earth and He who spread it

6 And the earth and Him Who extended it,

6 Waalardi wama tahaha

7 And [by] the soul and He who proportioned it

7 And the soul and Him Who made it perfect,

7 Wanafsin wama sawwaha

8 And inspired it [with discernment of] its wickedness and its righteousness,

8 Then He inspired it to understand what is right and wrong for it;

8 Faalhamaha fujooraha wataqwaha

9 He has succeeded who purifies it,

9 He will indeed be successful who purifies it,

9 Qad aflaha man zakkaha

10 And he has failed who instills it [with corruption].

10 And he will indeed fail who corrupts it.

10 Waqad khaba man dassaha

11 Thamud denied [their prophet] by reason of their transgression,

11 Samood gave the lie (to the truth) in their inordinacy,

11 Kaththabat thamoodu bitaghwaha

12 When the most wretched of them was sent forth.

12 When the most unfortunate of them broke forth with

12 Ithi inbaAAatha ashqaha

13 And the messenger of Allah [Salih] said to them, "[Do not harm] the she - camel of Allah or [prevent her from] her drink."

13 So Allah's apostle said to them (Leave alone) Allah's she - camel, and (give) her (to) drink.

13 Faqala lahum rasoolu Allahi naqata Allahi wasuqyaha

14 But they denied him and hamstrung her. So their Lord brought down upon them destruction for their sin and made it equal [upon all of them].

14 But they called him a liar and slaughtered her, therefore their Lord crushed them for their sin and levelled them (with the ground).

14 Fakaththaboohu faAAaqarooha fadamdama AAalayhim rabbuhum bithanbihim fasawwaha

15 And He does not fear the consequence thereof.

15 And He fears not its consequence.

15 Wala yakhafu AAuqbaha
