بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

وَٱلشَّمْسِ وَضُحَىٰهَا ﴿١﴾

Wash shamsi wa duhaa haa

1By the sun and its brightness

وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَىٰهَا ﴿٢﴾

Wal qamari izaa talaa haa

2And [by] the moon when it follows it

وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّىٰهَا ﴿٣﴾

3And [by] the day when it displays it

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰهَا ﴿٤﴾

Wallaili izaa yaghshaa haa

4And [by] the night when it covers it

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا بَنَىٰهَا ﴿٥﴾

5And [by] the sky and He who constructed it

وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا طَحَىٰهَا ﴿٦﴾

8And inspired it [with discernment of] its wickedness and its righteousness,

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّىٰهَا ﴿٩﴾

Qad aflaha man zakkaahaa

9He has succeeded who purifies it,

وَقَدْ خَابَ مَن دَسَّىٰهَا ﴿١٠﴾

Wa qad khaaba man dassaahaa

10And he has failed who instills it [with corruption].

كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِطَغْوَىٰهَآ ﴿١١﴾

Kazzabat Samoodu bi taghwaahaaa

11Thamud denied [their prophet] by reason of their transgression,

إِذِ ٱنۢبَعَثَ أَشْقَىٰهَا ﴿١٢﴾

Izim ba'asa ashqaahaa

12When the most wretched of them was sent forth.

فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ نَاقَةَ ٱللَّهِ وَسُقْيَٰهَا ﴿١٣﴾

Faqaala lahum Rasoolul laahi naaqatal laahi wa suqiyaahaa

13And the messenger of Allah [Salih] said to them, "[Do not harm] the she-camel of Allah or [prevent her from] her drink."

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوهَا فَدَمْدَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّهُم بِذَنۢبِهِمْ فَسَوَّىٰهَا ﴿١٤﴾

Fakazzaboohu fa'aqaroohaa fadamdama 'alaihim Rabbuhum bizambihim fasaw waahaa

14But they denied him and hamstrung her. So their Lord brought down upon them destruction for their sin and made it equal [upon all of them].

وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقْبَٰهَا ﴿١٥﴾

Wa laa yakhaafu'uqbaahaa

15And He does not fear the consequence thereof.
