Ash-Shams

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلشَّمْسِ وَضُحَىٰهَا

By the sun and his brightness

وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَىٰهَا

And the moon when she followeth him

وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّىٰهَا

And the day when it revealeth him

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰهَا

And the night when it enshroudeth him

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا بَنَىٰهَا

And the heaven and Him Who built it

وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا طَحَىٰهَا

And the earth and Him Who spread it

وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّىٰهَا

And a soul and Him Who perfected it

فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَىٰهَا

And inspired it (with conscience of) what is wrong for it and (what is) right for it

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّىٰهَا

He is indeed successful who causeth it to grow

وَقَدْ خَابَ مَن دَسَّىٰهَا

And he is indeed a failure who stunteth it

كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِطَغْوَىٰهَآ

(The tribe of) Thamud denied (the truth) in their rebellious pride

إِذِ ٱنۢبَعَثَ أَشْقَىٰهَا

When the basest of them broke forth

فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ نَاقَةَ ٱللَّهِ وَسُقْيَـٰهَا

And the messenger of Allah said: It is the she-camel of Allah, so let her drink

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوهَا فَدَمْدَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّهُم بِذَنۢبِهِمْ فَسَوَّىٰهَا

But they denied him, and they hamstrung her, so Allah doomed them for their sin and rased (their dwellings)

وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقْبَـٰهَا

He dreadeth not the sequel (of events)
