قَد أَفلَحَ مَن زَكّاها
He has succeeded who purifies it,
وَقَد خابَ مَن دَسّاها
And he has failed who instills it [with corruption].
كَذَّبَت ثَمودُ بِطَغواها
Thamud denied [their prophet] by reason of their transgression,
إِذِ انبَعَثَ أَشقاها
When the most wretched of them was sent forth.
فَقالَ لَهُم رَسولُ اللَّهِ ناقَةَ اللَّهِ وَسُقياها
And the messenger of Allah [Salih] said to them, "[Do not harm] the she-camel of Allah or [prevent her from] her drink."
فَكَذَّبوهُ فَعَقَروها فَدَمدَمَ عَلَيهِم رَبُّهُم بِذَنبِهِم فَسَوّاها
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].
