Al Shams

1 Waalshshamsi waduhaha

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the sun and his brightness,

2 Waalqamari itha talaha

2 And the moon when she followeth him,

3 Waalnnahari itha jallaha

3 And the day when it revealeth him,

4 Waallayli itha yaghshaha

4 And the night when it enshroudeth him,

5 Waalssamai wama banaha

5 And the heaven and Him Who built it,

6 Waalardi wama tahaha

6 And the earth and Him Who spread it,

7 Wanafsin wama sawwaha

7 And a soul and Him Who perfected it

8 Faalhamaha fujooraha wataqwaha

8 And inspired it (with conscience of) what is wrong for it and (what is) right for it.

9 Qad aflaha man zakkaha

9 He is indeed successful who causeth it to grow,

10 Waqad khaba man dassaha

10 And he is indeed a failure who stunteth it.

11 Kaththabat thamoodu bitaghwaha

11 (The tribe of) Thamud denied (the truth) in their rebellious pride,

12 Ithi inbaAAatha ashqaha

12 When the basest of them broke forth

13 Faqala lahum rasoolu Allahi naqata Allahi wasuqyaha

13 And the messenger of Allah said: It is the she - camel of Allah, so let her drink!

14 Fakaththaboohu faAAaqarooha fadamdama AAalayhim rabbuhum bithanbihim fasawwaha

14 But they denied him, and they hamstrung her, so Allah doomed them for their sin and rased (their dwellings).

15 Wala yakhafu AAuqbaha

15 He dreadeth not the sequel (of events).
