1.  *     By the Sun and his (glorious) splendour;
 
2.  *     By the Moon as she follows him;
 
3.  *     By the Day as it shows up (the Sun's) glory;
 
4.  *     By the Night as it conceals it;
 
5.  *     By the Firmament and its (wonderful) structure;
 
6.  *     By the Earth and its (wide) expanse:
 
7.  *     By the Soul, and the proportion and order given to it;
 
8.  *     And its enlightenment as to its wrong and its right;-
 
9.  *     Truly he succeeds that purifies it,
 
10.  *     And he fails that corrupts it!
 
11.  *     The Thamud (people) rejected (their prophet) through their inordinate wrong-doing,
 
12.  *     Behold, the most wicked man among them was deputed (for impiety).
 
13.  *     But the Messenger of Allah said to them: "It is a She-camel of Allah. And (bar her not from) having her drink!"
 
14.  *     Then they rejected him (as a false prophet), and they hamstrung her. So their Lord, on account of their crime, obliterated their traces and made them equal (in destruction, high and low)!
 
15.  *     And for Him is no fear of its consequences.
