هَلْ فِي ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِذِي حِجْرٍ
5. Is there [not] in [all] that an oath [sufficient] for one of perception?
لَا أُقْسِمُ بِهَٰذَا الْبَلَدِ
1. I swear by this city, Makkah -
وَوَالِدٍ وَمَا وَلَدَ
3. And [by] the father and that which was born [of him],
وَالشَّمْسِ وَضُحَاهَا
1. By the sun and its brightness
وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَاهَا
2. And [by] the moon when it follows it
وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّاهَا
3. And [by] the day when it displays it
وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَاهَا
4. And [by] the night when it covers it
وَالسَّمَاءِ وَمَا بَنَاهَا
5. And [by] the sky and He who constructed it
وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا طَحَاهَا
6. And [by] the earth and He who spread it
وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّاهَا
7. And [by] the soul and He who proportioned it
