And the moon when she borrows light from him! |
And the day when it exposes it to view! |
And the night when it draws a veil over it! |
And the heaven and its make! |
And the earth and its extension! |
And the soul and its perfection! -- |
So He reveals to it its way of evil and its way of good |
He is indeed successful who causes it to grow, |
And he indeed fails who buries it. |
Thamud rejected (the truth) in their inordinacy, |
When the basest of them broke forth with mischief -- |
So Allah’s messenger said to them: (Leave alone) Allah’s she-camel, and (give) her (to) drink. |
But they called him a liar and slaughtered her. So their Lord destroyed them for their sin and levelled them (with the ground) |
And He fears not its consequence. |
By the night when it draws a veil! |
