وَٱلشَّمْسِ وَضُحَىٰهَا ١
By the sun and its brightness
الشمس
Ash-Shams
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَىٰهَا ٢
And [by] the moon when it follows it
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّىٰهَا ٣
And [by] the day when it displays it
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰهَا ٤
And [by] the night when it covers [i.e., conceals] it
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا بَنَىٰهَا ٥
And [by] the sky and He who constructed it
وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا طَحَىٰهَا ٦
And [by] the earth and He who spread it
وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّىٰهَا ٧
And [by] the soul and He who proportioned it
فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَىٰهَا ٨
And inspired it [with discernment of] its wickedness and its righteousness,
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّىٰهَا ٩
He has succeeded who purifies it,
وَقَدْ خَابَ مَن دَسَّىٰهَا ١٠
And he has failed who instills it [with corruption].
