Ash-Shams

The Sun

1

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلشَّمْسِ وَضُحَىٰهَا

CONSIDER the sun and its radiant brightness,
2

وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَىٰهَا

and the moon as it reflects the sun!
3

وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّىٰهَا

Consider the day as it reveals the world,
4

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰهَا

and the night as it veils it darkly!
5

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا بَنَىٰهَا

Consider the sky and its wondrous make,
6

وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا طَحَىٰهَا

and the earth and all its expanse!
7

وَنَفْسٍۢ وَمَا سَوَّىٰهَا

Consider the human self, and how it is formed in accordance with what it is meant to be,
8

فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَىٰهَا

and how it is imbued with moral failings as well as with consciousness of God!
9

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّىٰهَا

To a happy state shall indeed attain he who causes this [self] to grow in purity,
10

وَقَدْ خَابَ مَن دَسَّىٰهَا

and truly lost is he who buries it [in darkness].
11

كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِطَغْوَىٰهَآ

TO [THIS] TRUTH gave the lie, in their overweening arrogance, [the tribe of] Thamud,
12

إِذِ ٱنۢبَعَثَ أَشْقَىٰهَا

when that most hapless wretch from among them rushed forward [to commit his evil deed],
13

فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ نَاقَةَ ٱللَّهِ وَسُقْيَٰهَا

although God's apostle had told them, "It is a she-camel belonging to God, so let her drink [and do her no harm]!"
14

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوهَا فَدَمْدَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّهُم بِذَنۢبِهِمْ فَسَوَّىٰهَا

But they gave him the lie, and cruelly slaughtered her - whereupon their Sustainer visited them with utter destruction for this their sin, destroying them all alike:
15

وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقْبَٰهَا

for none [of them] had any fear of what might befall them.
