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 razed ( their dwellings ) .
15 . He dreadeth not the sequel ( of events ) .
