بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
وَٱلشَّمۡسِ وَضُحَىٰهَا
By the sun and its brightness
وَٱلۡقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَىٰهَا
And [by] the moon when it follows it
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّىٰهَا
And [by] the day when it displays it
وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذَا يَغۡشَىٰهَا
And [by] the night when it covers it
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا بَنَىٰهَا
And [by] the sky and He who constructed it
وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا طَحَىٰهَا
And [by] the earth and He who spread it
وَنَفۡسٖ وَمَا سَوَّىٰهَا
And [by] the soul and He who proportioned it
فَأَلۡهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقۡوَىٰهَا
And inspired it [with discernment of] its wickedness and its righteousness
قَدۡ أَفۡلَحَ مَن زَكَّىٰهَا
He has succeeded who purifies it
وَقَدۡ خَابَ مَن دَسَّىٰهَا
And he has failed who instills it [with corruption]
كَذَّبَتۡ ثَمُودُ بِطَغۡوَىٰهَآ
Thamud denied [their prophet] by reason of their transgression
إِذِ ٱنۢبَعَثَ أَشۡقَىٰهَا
When the most wretched of them was sent forth
فَقَالَ لَهُمۡ رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ نَاقَةَ ٱللَّهِ وَسُقۡيَٰهَا
And the messenger of Allah [Salih] said to them, "[Do not harm] the she-camel of Allah or [prevent her from] her drink
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوهَا فَدَمۡدَمَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ رَبُّهُم بِذَنۢبِهِمۡ فَسَوَّىٰهَا
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]
وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقۡبَٰهَا
And He does not fear the consequence thereof
