وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا بَنَىٰهَا

Waalssamai wama banaha

By the Firmament and its (wonderful) structure;

وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا طَحَىٰهَا

Waalardi wama tahaha

By the Earth and its (wide) expanse:

وَنَفۡسٖ وَمَا سَوَّىٰهَا

Wanafsin wama sawwaha

By the Soul, and the proportion and order given to it;

فَأَلۡهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقۡوَىٰهَا

Faalhamaha fujooraha wataqwaha

And its enlightenment as to its wrong and its right;-

قَدۡ أَفۡلَحَ مَن زَكَّىٰهَا

Qad aflaha man zakkaha

Truly he succeeds that purifies it,

وَقَدۡ خَابَ مَن دَسَّىٰهَا

Waqad khaba man dassaha

And he fails that corrupts it!
