1وَٱلشَّمْسِ وَضُحَىٰهَا

2وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَىٰهَا

3وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّىٰهَا

4وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰهَا

5وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا بَنَىٰهَا

6وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا طَحَىٰهَا

7وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّىٰهَا

8فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَىٰهَا

9قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّىٰهَا

10وَقَدْ خَابَ مَن دَسَّىٰهَا

11كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِطَغْوَىٰهَآ

12إِذِ ٱنۢبَعَثَ أَشْقَىٰهَا

13فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ نَاقَةَ ٱللَّهِ وَسُقْيَـٰهَا

14فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوهَا فَدَمْدَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّهُم بِذَنۢبِهِمْ فَسَوَّىٰهَا

15وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقْبَـٰهَا
