الشمس

وَٱلشَّمْسِ وَضُحَىٰهَا ١

Wal-shamsi waḍuḥāhā

By the sun in its morning brightness

وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَىٰهَا ٢

Wal-qamari idhā talāhā

And by the moon as it follows it,

وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّىٰهَا ٣

Wal-nahāri idhā jallāhā

By the day as it displays the sun’s glory

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰهَا ٤

Wa-al-layli idhā yaghshāhā

And by the night as it conceals it,

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا بَنَىٰهَا ٥

Wal-samāi wamā banāhā

By the sky and how He built it

وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا طَحَىٰهَا ٦

Wal-arḍi wamā ṭaḥāhā

And by the earth and how He spread it,

وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّىٰهَا ٧

Wanafsin wamā sawwāhā

By the soul and how He formed it

فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَىٰهَا ٨

Fa-alhamahā fujūrahā wataqwāhā

And inspired it [to know] its own rebellion and piety!

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّىٰهَا ٩

Qad aflaḥa man zakkāhā

The one who purifies his soul succeeds

وَقَدْ خَابَ مَن دَسَّىٰهَا ١٠

Waqad khāba man dassāhā

And the one who corrupts it fails.
