وَٱلشَّمْسِ وَضُحَىٰهَا۝١

1I swear by the sun and its brilliance,

وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَىٰهَا۝٢

2And the moon when it follows the sun,

وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّىٰهَا۝٣

3And the day when it shows it,

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰهَا۝٤

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

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا بَنَىٰهَا۝٥

5And the heaven and Him Who made it,

وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا طَحَىٰهَا۝٦

6And the earth and Him Who extended it,

وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّىٰهَا۝٧

7And the soul and Him Who made it perfect,

فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَىٰهَا۝٨

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

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّىٰهَا۝٩

9He will indeed be successful who purifies it,

وَقَدْ خَابَ مَن دَسَّىٰهَا۝١٠

10And he will indeed fail who corrupts it.

كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِطَغْوَىٰهَآ۝١١

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

إِذِ ٱنۢبَعَثَ أَشْقَىٰهَا۝١٢

12When the most unfortunate of them broke forth with

فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ نَاقَةَ ٱللَّهِ وَسُقْيَٰهَا۝١٣

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

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوهَا فَدَمْدَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّهُم بِذَنۢبِهِمْ فَسَوَّىٰهَا۝١٤

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

وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقْبَٰهَا۝١٥

15And He fears not its consequence.
