1 | By the sun and his brightness, |
2 | And the moon when she followeth him, |
3 | And the day when it revealeth him, |
4 | And the night when it enshroudeth him, |
5 | And the heaven and Him Who built it, |
6 | And the earth and Him Who spread it, |
7 | And a soul and Him Who perfected it |
8 | And inspired it (with conscience of) what is wrong for it and (what is) right for it. |
9 | He is indeed successful who causeth it to grow, |
10 | And he is indeed a failure who stunteth it. |
11 | (The tribe of) Thamud denied (the truth) in their rebellious pride, |
12 | When the basest of them broke forth |
13 | And the messenger of Allah said: It is the she-camel of Allah, so let her drink! |
14 | But they denied him, and they hamstrung her, so Allah doomed them for their sin and rased (their dwellings). |
15 | He dreadeth not the sequel (of events). |
