1.  *     By the sun and his brightness!
 
2.  *     And the moon when she borrows light from him!
 
3.  *     And the day when it exposes it to view!
 
4.  *     And the night when it draws a veil over it!
 
5.  *     And the heaven and its make!
 
6.  *     And the earth and its extension!
 
7.  *     And the soul and its perfection! --
 
8.  *     So He reveals to it its way of evil and its way of good;
 
9.  *     He is indeed successful who causes it to grow,
 
10.  *     And he indeed fails who buries it.
 
11.  *     Thamud rejected (the truth) in their inordinacy,
 
12.  *     When the basest of them broke forth with mischief --
 
13.  *     So Allah’s messenger said to them: (Leave alone) Allah’s she-camel, and (give) her (to) drink.
 
14.  *     But they called him a liar and slaughtered her. So their Lord destroyed them for their sin and levelled them (with the ground);
 
15.  *     And He fears not its consequence.
