91. ash-Shams: The Sun
1 By the sun and his brightness,
2 And the moon when she followeth
him,
3 And the day when it revealeth
him,
4 And the night when it enshroudeth
him,
5 And the heaven and Him Who
built it,
6 And the earth and Him Who
spread it,
7 And a soul and Him Who perfected
it
8 And inspired it (with conscience
of) what is wrong for it and (what is) right for it.
9 He is indeed successful who
causeth it to grow,
10 And he is indeed a failure
who stunteth it.
11 (The tribe of) Thamud denied
(the truth) in their rebellious pride,
12 When the basest of them broke
forth
13 And the messenger of Allah
said: It is the she-camel of Allah, so let her drink!
14 But they denied him, and
they hamstrung her, so Allah doomed them for their sin and rased (their dwellings).
15 He dreadeth not the sequel
(of events).
