1.  *     By the sun and his brightness,
 
2.  *     And the moon when she followeth him,
 
3.  *     And the day when it revealeth him,
 
4.  *     And the night when it enshroudeth him,
 
5.  *     And the heaven and Him Who built it,
 
6.  *     And the earth and Him Who spread it,
 
7.  *     And a soul and Him Who perfected it
 
8.  *     And inspired it (with conscience of) what is wrong for it and (what is) right for it.
 
9.  *     He is indeed successful who causeth it to grow,
 
10.  *     And he is indeed a failure who stunteth it.
 
11.  *     (The tribe of) Thamud denied (the truth) in their rebellious pride,
 
12.  *     When the basest of them broke forth
 
13.  *     And the messenger of Allah said: It is the she-camel of Allah, so let her drink!
 
14.  *     But they denied him, and they hamstrung her, so Allah doomed them for their sin and rased (their dwellings).
 
15.  *     He dreadeth not the sequel (of events).
