بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ
وَ الشَّمْسِ وَ ضُحٰىهَا۪ۙ﴿1﴾
By the sun and its brightnessوَ الْقَمَرِ اِذَا تَلٰىهَا۪ۙ﴿2﴾
And [by] the moon when it follows itوَ النَّهَارِ اِذَا جَلّٰىهَا۪ۙ﴿3﴾
And [by] the day when it displays itوَ الَّیْلِ اِذَا یَغْشٰىهَا۪ۙ﴿4﴾
And [by] the night when it covers itوَ السَّمَآءِ وَ مَا بَنٰىهَا۪ۙ﴿5﴾
And [by] the sky and He who constructed itوَ الْاَرْضِ وَ مَا طَحٰىهَا۪ۙ﴿6﴾
And [by] the earth and He who spread itوَ نَفْسٍ وَّ مَا سَوّٰىهَا۪ۙ﴿7﴾
And [by] the soul and He who proportioned itفَاَلْهَمَهَا فُجُوْرَهَا وَ تَقْوٰىهَا۪ۙ﴿8﴾
And inspired it [with discernment of] its wickedness and its righteousness,قَدْ اَفْلَحَ مَنْ زَكّٰىهَا۪ۙ﴿9﴾
He has succeeded who purifies it,وَ قَدْ خَابَ مَنْ دَسّٰىهَاؕ﴿10﴾
And he has failed who instills it [with corruption].كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُوْدُ بِطَغْوٰىهَا۪ۤۙ﴿11﴾
Thamud denied [their prophet] by reason of their transgression,اِذِ انْۢبَعَثَ اَشْقٰىهَا۪ۙ﴿12﴾
When the most wretched of them was sent forth.فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُوْلُ اللّٰهِ نَاقَةَ اللّٰهِ وَ سُقْیٰهَاؕ﴿13﴾
And the messenger of Allah [Salih] said to them, "[Do not harm] the she-camel of Allah or [prevent her from] her drink."فَكَذَّبُوْهُ فَعَقَرُوْهَا١۪ۙ۬ فَدَمْدَمَ عَلَیْهِمْ رَبُّهُمْ بِذَنْۢبِهِمْ فَسَوّٰىهَا۪ۙ﴿14﴾
But they denied him and hamstrung her. So their Lord brought down upon them destruction for their sin and made it equal [upon all of them].وَ لَا یَخَافُ عُقْبٰهَا۠ع﴿15﴾
And He does not fear the consequence thereof.
