الشمسอัชชัมส์

By the sun and his brightness,

The อาหรับ (อุษมานี) edition prefixes the text of 1:1 to this verse (counted as a verse of its own only at 1:1) · อังกฤษ (Pickthall 1930) has none — left as they are

And the moon when she followeth him,

And the day when it revealeth him,

And the night when it enshroudeth him,

And the heaven and Him Who built it,

And the earth and Him Who spread it,

And a soul and Him Who perfected it

And inspired it (with conscience of) what is wrong for it and (what is) right for it.

He is indeed successful who causeth it to grow,

And he is indeed a failure who stunteth it.

(The tribe of) Thamud denied (the truth) in their rebellious pride,

When the basest of them broke forth

And the messenger of Allah said: It is the she-camel of Allah, so let her drink!

But they denied him, and they hamstrung her, so Allah doomed them for their sin and razed (their dwellings).

He dreadeth not the sequel (of events).
