The Sun

In the name of God,
Most Gracious, Most Merciful

By the Sun and his (glorious) splendour


By the Moon as she follows him


By the Day as it shows up (the Sun's) glory


By the Night as it conceals it


By the Firmament and it (wonderful) structure


By the Earth and its (wide) expanse


By the Soul, and the proportion and order given to it


And its enlightenment as to its wrong and its right


Truly he succeeds that purifies it


And he fails that corrupts it!
