By the sun and its brightness  

وَالشَّمْسِ وَضُحَاهَا  

And ˹by˺ the moon when it follows it  

وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَاهَا  

And ˹by˺ the day when it displays it  

وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّاهَا  

And ˹by˺ the night when it covers it  

وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَاهَا  

And ˹by˺ the sky and He who constructed it  

وَالسَّمَاءِ وَمَا بَنَاهَا  

And ˹by˺ the earth and He who spread it  

وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا طَحَاهَا  

And ˹by˺ the soul and He who proportioned it  

وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّاهَا  

And inspired it ˹with discernment of˺ its wickedness and its righteousness,  

فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَاهَا  

He has succeeded who purifies it,  

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ زَكَّاهَا  

And he has failed who instills it ˹with corruption˺.  

وَقَدْ خَابَ مَنْ دَسَّاهَا
