Surah Al Shams

وَٱلشَّمۡسِ وَضُحَٮٰهَا

By the Sun and his (glorious) splendor;

وَٱلۡقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَٮٰهَا

By the Moon as she follow him;

وَٱلنَّہَارِ إِذَا جَلَّٮٰهَا

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

وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذَا يَغۡشَٮٰهَا

By the Night as it conceals it;

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا بَنَٮٰهَا

By the Firmament and its (wonderful) structure;

وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا طَحَٮٰهَا

By the Earth and its (wide) expanse;

وَنَفۡسٍ۬ وَمَا سَوَّٮٰهَا

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

فَأَلۡهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقۡوَٮٰهَا

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

قَدۡ أَفۡلَحَ مَن زَكَّٮٰهَا

Truly he succeeds that purifies it,

وَقَدۡ خَابَ مَن دَسَّٮٰهَا

And he fails that corrupts it!

كَذَّبَتۡ ثَمُودُ بِطَغۡوَٮٰهَآ

The Thamud (people) rejected (their prophet) through their inordinate wrongdoing.

إِذِ ٱنۢبَعَثَ أَشۡقَٮٰهَا

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

فَقَالَ لَهُمۡ رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ نَاقَةَ ٱللَّهِ وَسُقۡيَـٰهَا

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

Then they rejected him (as a false prophet), and they hamstrung her.

 فَدَمۡدَمَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ رَبُّهُم بِذَنۢبِهِمۡ فَسَوَّٮٰهَا

So their Lord, on account of their crime, obliterated their traces and made them equal (in destruction, High and low)!

وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقۡبَـٰهَا

And for Him is no fear of its consequences.
