بِسمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحمـٰنِ الرَّحيمِ وَالشَّمسِ وَضُحاها

By the sun and its brightness

وَالقَمَرِ إِذا تَلاها

And [by] the moon when it follows it

وَالنَّهارِ إِذا جَلّاها

And [by] the day when it displays it

وَاللَّيلِ إِذا يَغشاها

And [by] the night when it covers it

وَالأَرضِ وَما طَحاها

And [by] the earth and He who spread it

وَنَفسٍ وَما سَوّاها

And [by] the soul and He who proportioned it

فَأَلهَمَها فُجورَها وَتَقواها

And inspired it [with discernment of] its wickedness and its righteousness,

قَد أَفلَحَ مَن زَكّاها

He has succeeded who purifies it,

وَقَد خابَ مَن دَسّاها

And he has failed who instills it [with corruption].
