Surah Ash-Shams – The Sun

وَٱلشَّمْسِ وَضُحَىٰهَا

Wash shamsi wa duhaa haa

By the Sun and his (glorious) splendour;

وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَىٰهَا

Wal qamari izaa talaa haa

By the Moon as she follows him;

وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّىٰهَا

Wannahaari izaa jallaa haa

By the Day as it shows up (the Sun's) glory;

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰهَا

Wallaili izaa yaghshaa haa

By the Night as it conceals it;

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا بَنَىٰهَا

Wassamaaa'i wa maa banaahaa

By the Firmament and its (wonderful) structure;

وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا طَحَىٰهَا

Wal ardi wa maa tahaahaa

By the Earth and its (wide) expanse:

وَنَفْسٍۢ وَمَا سَوَّىٰهَا

Wa nafsinw wa maa sawwaahaa

By the Soul, and the proportion and order given to it;

فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَىٰهَا

Fa-alhamahaa fujoorahaa wa taqwaahaa

And its enlightenment as to its wrong and its right;-

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّىٰهَا

Qad aflaha man zakkaahaa

Truly he succeeds that purifies it,

وَقَدْ خَابَ مَن دَسَّىٰهَا

Wa qad khaaba man dassaahaa

And he fails that corrupts it!

كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِطَغْوَىٰهَآ

Kazzabat Samoodu bi taghwaahaaa

The Thamud (people) rejected (their prophet) through their inordinate wrong-doing,

إِذِ ٱنۢبَعَثَ أَشْقَىٰهَا

Izim ba'asa ashqaahaa

Behold, the most wicked man among them was deputed (for impiety).

فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ نَاقَةَ ٱللَّهِ وَسُقْيَٰهَا

Faqaala lahum Rasoolul laahi naaqatal laahi wa suqiyaahaa

But the Messenger of Allah said to them: "It is a She-camel of Allah! And (bar her not from) having her drink!"

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوهَا فَدَمْدَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّهُم بِذَنۢبِهِمْ فَسَوَّىٰهَا

Fakazzaboohu fa'aqaroohaa fadamdama 'alaihim Rabbuhum bizambihim fasaw waahaa

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)!

وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقْبَٰهَا

Wa laa yakhaafu'uqbaahaa

And for Him is no fear of its consequences.
