Ash-Shams
وَٱلشَّمۡسِ وَضُحَىٰهَا
By the Sun and his (glorious) splendour;
وَٱلۡقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَىٰهَا
By the Moon as she follows him;
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّىٰهَا
By the Day as it shows up (the Sun's) glory;
وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذَا يَغۡشَىٰهَا
By the Night as it conceals it;
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا بَنَىٰهَا
By the Firmament and its (wonderful) structure;
وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا طَحَىٰهَا
By the Earth and its (wide) expanse:
وَنَفۡسٖ وَمَا سَوَّىٰهَا
By the Soul, and the proportion and order given to it;
فَأَلۡهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقۡوَىٰهَا
And its enlightenment as to its wrong and its right;-
قَدۡ أَفۡلَحَ مَن زَكَّىٰهَا
Truly he succeeds that purifies it,
وَقَدۡ خَابَ مَن دَسَّىٰهَا
And he fails that corrupts it!
