আল শামস

1 By the Sun and his (glorious) splendour;

1 Waalshshamsi waduhaha

2 By the Moon as she follows him;

2 Waalqamari itha talaha

3 By the Day as it shows up (the Sun's) glory;

3 Waalnnahari itha jallaha

4 By the Night as it conceals it;

4 Waallayli itha yaghshaha

5 By the Firmament and its (wonderful) structure;

5 Waalssamai wama banaha

6 By the Earth and its (wide) expanse:

6 Waalardi wama tahaha

7 By the Soul, and the proportion and order given to it;

7 Wanafsin wama sawwaha

8 And its enlightenment as to its wrong and its right; -

8 Faalhamaha fujooraha wataqwaha

9 Truly he succeeds that purifies it,

9 Qad aflaha man zakkaha

10 And he fails that corrupts it!

10 Waqad khaba man dassaha

11 The Thamud (people) rejected (their prophet) through their inordinate wrong - doing,

11 Kaththabat thamoodu bitaghwaha

12 Behold, the most wicked man among them was deputed (for impiety).

12 Ithi inbaAAatha ashqaha

13 But the Messenger of Allah said to them: "It is a She - camel of Allah! And (bar her not from) having her drink!"

13 Faqala lahum rasoolu Allahi naqata Allahi wasuqyaha

14 Then they rejected him (as a false prophet), and they hamstrung her. So their Lord, on account of their crime, obliterated their traces and made them equal (in destruction, high and low)!

14 Fakaththaboohu faAAaqarooha fadamdama AAalayhim rabbuhum bithanbihim fasawwaha

15 And for Him is no fear of its consequences.

15 Wala yakhafu AAuqbaha
