وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّىٰهَا ٣

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰهَا ٤
And [by] the night when it covers it
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا بَنَىٰهَا ٥
And [by] the sky and He who constructed it
وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا طَحَىٰهَا ٦

وَنَفْسٍۢ وَمَا سَوَّىٰهَا ٧

فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَىٰهَا ٨

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّىٰهَا ٩
