Wasy-syamsi wa dhuhaahaa

By the sun and its morning brightness,

Wal-qamari idzaa talaahaa

and the moon when it follows it,

وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّىٰهَا

and the day when it displays it,

وَالَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰهَا

Wal-laili idzaa yaghsyaahaa

and the night when it covers it,

وَالسَّمَآءِ وَمَا بَنَىٰهَا

Was-samaa-i wa maa banaahaa

and the sky and He who built it,

وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا طَحَىٰهَا

Wal-ardhi wa maa thahaahaa

and the earth and He who spread it,

وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّىٰهَا

and the soul and He who proportioned it,

فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَىٰهَا

Fa-alhamahaa fujuurahaa wa taqwaahaa

and inspired it with its wickedness and its righteousness,

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّىٰهَا

Qad aflaha man zakkaahaa

he has truly succeeded who purifies it,

وَقَدْ خَابَ مَن دَسَّىٰهَا

Wa qad khaaba man dassaahaa

and he has truly failed who corrupts it.

كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِطَغْوَىٰهَآ

Kadzdzabat tsamuudu bithaghwaahaa

Thamud denied the truth out of their transgression,

إِذِ انۢبَعَثَ أَشْقَىٰهَا

when the most wretched of them was sent forth,

فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ نَاقَةَ اللَّهِ وَسُقْيَٰهَا

Fa qaala lahum rasuulullaahi naaqatallaahi wa suqyaahaa

so the messenger of Allah said to them, "This is the she-camel of Allah, so let her drink."

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوهَا فَدَمْدَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّهُم بِذَنۢبِهِمْ فَسَوَّىٰهَا

Fa kadzdzabuuhu fa 'aqaruuhaa fa damdama 'alaihim rabbuhum bidzambihim fa sawwaahaa

But they denied him and hamstrung her, so their Lord crushed them for their sin and leveled them,
