By the sun and its brightness

Waalqamari itha talaha

And [by] the moon when it follows it

Waalnnahari itha jallaha

And [by] the day when it displays it

Waallayli itha yaghshaha

And [by] the night when it covers it

Waalssamai wama banaha

And [by] the sky and He who constructed it

Waalardi wama tahaha

And [by] the earth and He who spread it

Wanafsin wama sawwaha

And [by] the soul and He who proportioned it

Faalhamaha fujooraha wataqwaha

And inspired it [with discernment of] its wickedness and its righteousness

Qad aflaha man zakkaha

He has succeeded who purifies it

Waqad khaba man dassaha

And he has failed who instills it [with corruption]

Kaththabat thamoodu bitaghwaha

Thamud denied [their prophet] by reason of their transgression

Ithi inbaAAatha ashqaha

When the most wretched of them was sent forth

Faqala lahum rasoolu Allahi naqata Allahi wasuqyaha

And the messenger of Allah [Salih] said to them, "[Do not harm] the she-camel of Allah or [prevent her from] her drink

Fakaththaboohu faAAaqarooha fadamdama AAalayhim rabbuhum bithanbihim fasawwaha

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]

Wala yakhafu AAuqbaha

And He does not fear the consequence thereof
