وَالسَّمَاءِ وَالطَّارِقِ

وَالشَّفْعِ وَالْوَتْرِ
3. And [by] the even [number] and the odd
وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ
4. And [by] the night when it passes,
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

وَالشَّمْسِ وَضُحَاهَا
1. By the sun and its brightness
وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَاهَا
2. And [by] the moon when it follows it
