By the sun and his morning bright-ness
By the moon, when she followeth him
By the day when it glorifieth him
By the night; when it envelopeth him
By the heaven and Him Who builded it
By the earth and Him Who spread it forth
By the soul and Him Who propertioned it
And inspired it with the wickedness thereof and the piety thereof
Surely blissful is he who hath cleansed, it
And miserable is he who hath buried it
Thamud belied in their exorbitance
What time the greatest wretch of them rose up
Then the apostle of Allah said Unto them: beware of the she-camel of Allah and her drink
Then they belied him, and they hamstrung her; wherefore their Lord overwhelmed them for their crime, and made it equal
And He feared not the consequence thereon
