By the sun and his morning brightness
|
|
2. * |
and by the moon when she follows him,
|
|
3. * |
and by the day when it displays him
|
|

By the heaven and That which built it
|
|
6. * |
and by the earth and That which extended it!
|
|
7. * |
By the soul, and That which shaped it
|
|
8. * |
and inspired it to lewdness and godfearing!

|
|
10. * |
and failed has he who seduces it.

|
|

|
|

|
|

But they cried him lies, and hamstrung her, so their Lord crushed them for their sin, and leveled them:
|
|
15. * |
and He fears not the issue thereof.
