وَالنَّاشِطَاتِ نَشْطًا
2. And [by] those who remove with ease
وَالسَّابِحَاتِ سَبْحًا
3. And [by] those who glide [as if] swimming
فَالسَّابِقَاتِ سَبْقًا
4. And those who race each other in a race
فَالْمُدَبِّرَاتِ أَمْرًا
5. And those who arrange [each] matter,
فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالْخُنَّسِ
15. So I swear by the retreating stars -
الْجَوَارِ الْكُنَّسِ
16. Those that run [their courses] and disappear -
وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا عَسْعَسَ
17. And by the night as it closes in
وَالصُّبْحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ
18. And by the dawn when it breathes
فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالشَّفَقِ
16. So I swear by the twilight glow
وَاللَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ
17. And [by] the night and what it envelops
