shakir
 
1.  *     I swear by the sun and its brilliance,
 
2.  *     And the moon when it follows the sun,
 
3.  *     And the day when it shows it,
 
4.  *     And the night when it draws a veil over it,
 
5.  *     And the heaven and Him Who made it,
 
6.  *     And the earth and Him Who extended it,
 
7.  *     And the soul and Him Who made it perfect,
 
8.  *     Then He inspired it to understand what is right and wrong for it;
 
9.  *     He will indeed be successful who purifies it,
 
10.  *     And he will indeed fail who corrupts it.
 
11.  *     Samood gave the lie (to the truth) in their inordinacy,
 
12.  *     When the most unfortunate of them broke forth with
 
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, therefore their Lord crushed them for their sin and levelled them (with the ground).
 
15.  *     And He fears not its consequence.
