1By the sun and his brightness

2And the moon when she followeth him

3And the day when it revealeth him

4And the night when it enshroudeth him

5And the heaven and Him Who built it

6And the earth and Him Who spread it

7And a soul and Him Who perfected it

8And inspired it (with conscience of) what is wrong for it and (what is) right for it

9He is indeed successful who causeth it to grow

10And he is indeed a failure who stunteth it

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

12When the basest of them broke forth

13And the messenger of Allah said: It is the she-camel of Allah, so let her drink

14But they denied him, and they hamstrung her, so Allah doomed them for their sin and rased (their dwellings)

15He dreadeth not the sequel (of events)
