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!

كَذَّبَتۡ ثَمُودُ بِطَغۡوَىٰهَآ

Kaththabat thamoodu bitaghwaha

The Thamud (people) rejected (their prophet) through their inordinate wrong-doing,

إِذِ ٱنۢبَعَثَ أَشۡقَىٰهَا

Ithi inbaAAatha ashqaha

Behold, the most wicked man among them was deputed (for impiety).
