By the sun and his brightness, |

And the moon when she followeth him, |

|
| 6 |
And the earth and Him Who spread it, |
|
| 7 |
And a soul and Him Who perfected it |
|
| 8 |
And inspired it (with conscience of) what is wrong for it and (what is) right for it. |

|

|
| 12 |

|
| 14 |

|
| 15 |
He dreadeth not the sequel (of events). |
