Astronomy

فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ

I swear by the glow of sunset,

وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ

by the full moon,

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلْبُرُوجِ

By the sky with its towering constellations,

ٱلنَّجْمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ

The piercing star––

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجْعِ

By the sky and its recurring rain,

وَٱلشَّمْسِ وَضُحَىٰهَا

By the sun in its morning brightness

وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَىٰهَا

and by the moon as it follows it,
