The Sun — Bridges Translation – Parallel Quran

1 The Sun

وَالشَّمْسِ وَضُحَاهَا

By the sun and its morning shine,

Waalshshamsi waduhaha

وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَاهَا

and the moon as it follows her,

Waalqamari itha talaha

وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّاهَا

and the daytime as it reveals her,

Waalnnahari itha jallaha

وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَاهَا

and the night as it conceals her.

Waallayli itha yaghshaha

وَالسَّمَاءِ وَمَا بَنَاهَا

By the sky and He Who built it.

Waalssama-i wama banaha

وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا طَحَاهَا

By the land and He Who spread it.

Waal-ardi wama tahaha

وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّاهَا

By the (inner) self and He Who formed it

Wanafsin wama sawwaha

فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَاهَا

then inspired it its own wickedness and its own mindfulness (of God)—

Faalhamaha fujooraha wataqwaha

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّاهَا

surely, successful is the one who has purified it,

Qad aflaha man zakkaha

وَقَدْ خَابَ مَن دَسَّاهَا

and surely, failing is the one who has stunted it.

Waqad khaba man dassaha

كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِطَغْوَاهَا

Exceeding all limits caused Thamûd to disbelieve,

Kaththabat thamoodu bitaghwaha

إِذِ انبَعَثَ أَشْقَاهَا

when the most wicked man among them was delegated.

Ithi inbaAAatha ashqaha

فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ نَاقَةَ اللَّهِ وَسُقْيَاهَا

Then the messenger of Allah said to them, “This is the she-camel of Allah, so let her drink.”

Faqala lahum rasoolu Allahi naqata Allahi wasuqyaha

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوهَا فَدَمْدَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّهُم بِذَنبِهِمْ فَسَوَّاهَا

So they disbelieved him and hamstrung her, so their Lord crushed them for their misdeed and leveled it,

Fakaththaboohu faAAaqarooha fadamdama AAalayhim rabbuhum bithanbihim fasawwaha

وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقْبَاهَا

and He does not fear its ultimate outcome.
