And [by] the day when it displays it
And the day when it shows it,
And the day when it revealeth him,
And [by] the night when it covers it
And the night when it draws a veil over it,
And the night when it enshroudeth him,
And [by] the sky and He who constructed it
And the heaven and Him Who made it,
And the heaven and Him Who built it,
And [by] the earth and He who spread it
And the earth and Him Who extended it,
And the earth and Him Who spread it,
And [by] the soul and He who proportioned it
And the soul and Him Who made it perfect,
And a soul and Him Who perfected it

When the most unfortunate of them broke forth with
When the basest of them broke forth

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].
