بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِیمِ وَٱلشَّمۡسِ وَضُحَىٰهَا

By the sun and his morning brightness

وَٱلۡقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَىٰهَا

and by the moon when she follows him,

وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّىٰهَا

and by the day when it displays him

وَٱلَّیۡلِ إِذَا یَغۡشَىٰهَا

and by the night when it enshrouds him!

وَٱلسَّمَاۤءِ وَمَا بَنَىٰهَا

By the heaven and That which built it

وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا طَحَىٰهَا

and by the earth and That which extended it!

وَنَفۡسࣲ وَمَا سَوَّىٰهَا

By the soul, and That which shaped it

فَأَلۡهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقۡوَىٰهَا

and inspired it to lewdness and godfearing!

قَدۡ أَفۡلَحَ مَن زَكَّىٰهَا

Prosperous is he who purifies it,

وَقَدۡ خَابَ مَن دَسَّىٰهَا

and failed has he who seduces it.

كَذَّبَتۡ ثَمُودُ بِطَغۡوَىٰهَاۤ

Thamood cried lies in their insolence

إِذِ ٱنۢبَعَثَ أَشۡقَىٰهَا

when the most wretched of them uprose,

فَقَالَ لَهُمۡ رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ نَاقَةَ ٱللَّهِ وَسُقۡیَـٰهَا

then the Messenger of God said to them, 'The She-camel of God; let her drink!'

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوهَا فَدَمۡدَمَ عَلَیۡهِمۡ رَبُّهُم بِذَنۢبِهِمۡ فَسَوَّىٰهَا

But they cried him lies, and hamstrung her, so their Lord crushed them for their sin, and leveled them:

وَلَا یَخَافُ عُقۡبَـٰهَا

and He fears not the issue thereof.
