بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
وَٱلۡقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَىٰهَا ٢
And by the moon as it follows it (the sun);
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّىٰهَا ٣
And by the day as it shows up (the sun's) brightness;
وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذَا يَغۡشَىٰهَا ٤
And by the night as it conceals it (the sun);
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا بَنَىٰهَا ٥
And by the heaven and Him Who built it;
وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا طَحَىٰهَا ٦
And by the earth and Him Who spread it,
وَنَفۡسٖ وَمَا سَوَّىٰهَا ٧
And by Nafs (Adam or a person or a soul, etc.), and Him Who perfected him in proportion;
فَأَلۡهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقۡوَىٰهَا ٨
Then He showed him what is wrong for him and what is right for him;
