وَالشَّمْسِ وَضُحَاهَا ١
By the Sun and his (glorious) splendour;
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
وَالشَّمْسِ وَضُحَاهَا ١
By the Sun and his (glorious) splendour;
وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَاهَا ٢
By the Moon as she follows him;
وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّاهَا ٣
By the Day as it shows up (the Sun's) glory;
وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَاهَا ٤
By the Night as it conceals it;
وَالسَّمَاءِ وَمَا بَنَاهَا ٥
By the Firmament and its (wonderful) structure;
وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا طَحَاهَا ٦
By the Earth and its (wide) expanse:
وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّاهَا ٧
By the Soul, and the proportion and order given to it;
فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَاهَا ٨
And its enlightenment as to its wrong and its right;-
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ زَكَّاهَا ٩
Truly he succeeds that purifies it,
