In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the sun and his brightness,
وَٱلشَّمْسِ وَضُحَىٰهَا
وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَاهَا
And the moon when she followeth him,
وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَىٰهَا
وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّاهَا
And the day when it revealeth him,
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّىٰهَا
وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَاهَا
And the night when it enshroudeth him,
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰهَا
وَالسَّمَاءِ وَمَا بَنَاهَا
And the heaven and Him Who built it,
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا بَنَىٰهَا
وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا طَحَاهَا
And the earth and Him Who spread it,
وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا طَحَىٰهَا
وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّاهَا
And a soul and Him Who perfected it
وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّىٰهَا
فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَاهَا
And inspired it (with conscience of) what is wrong for it and (what is) right for it.
فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَىٰهَا
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّاهَا
He is indeed who causeth it to grow,
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّىٰهَا
وَقَدْ خَابَ مَن دَسَّاهَا
And he is indeed a failure who stunteth it.
وَقَدْ خَابَ مَن دَسَّىٰهَا
كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِطَغْوَاهَا
(The tribe of) Thamud denied (the truth) in their rebellious pride,
كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِطَغْوَىٰهَآ
إِذِ انبَعَثَ أَشْقَاهَا
When the basest of them broke forth
إِذِ ٱنۢبَعَثَ أَشْقَىٰهَا
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ نَاقَةَ اللَّهِ وَسُقْيَاهَا
And the messenger of Allah said: It is the she - camel of Allah, so let her drink!
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ نَاقَةَ ٱللَّهِ وَسُقْيَٰهَا
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوهَا فَدَمْدَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّهُم بِذَنبِهِمْ فَسَوَّاهَا
But they denied him, and they hamstrung her, so Allah doomed them for their sin and rased (their dwellings).
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوهَا فَدَمْدَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّهُم بِذَنۢبِهِمْ فَسَوَّىٰهَا
وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقْبَاهَا
He dreadeth not the sequel (of events).
وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقْبَٰهَا
