91. Ash-Shams - The Sun
1 | By the sun and his morning brightness |
2 | and by the moon when she follows him, |
3 | and by the day when it displays him |
4 | and by the night when it enshrouds him! |
5 | By the heaven and That which built it |
6 | and by the earth and That which extended it! |
7 | By the soul, and That which shaped it |
8 | and inspired it to lewdness and godfearing! |
9 | Prosperous is he who purifies it, |
10 | and failed has he who seduces it. |
11 | Thamood cried lies in their insolence |
12 | when the most wretched of them uprose, |
13 | then the Messenger of God said to them, 'The She-camel of God; let her drink!' |
14 | But they cried him lies, and hamstrung her, so their Lord crushed them for their sin, and leveled them: |
15 | and He fears not the issue thereof. |
