1. وَالأَرضَ سَوّى بِساطاً ثُمَّ قَدَّرَها

    تَحتَ السَماءِ سَواءً مِثلَما ثَقَلا

    And He leveled the earth as a carpet, then measured it,

    beneath the sky, level, just as He weighed it.

  2. وَجاعِلُ الشَمسَ مِصراً لا خَفاءَ بِهِ

    بَينَ النَهارِ وَبَينَ اللَيلِ قَد فَصَلا

    And He makes the sun a boundary, plain to see;

    between day and night He has made a division.

  3. فَلاطَها اللَهُ إِذ أَغوت خَليقَتَهُ

    طولَ اللَيالي وَلَم يَجعل لَها أَجَلا

    So God cursed it when it led His creation astray,

    for as long as nights endure, and He set no end for it.
