خَلَقَ
السَّمَاوَاتِ
وَالْأَرْضَ
بِالْحَقِّ
يُكَوِّرُ
اللَّيْلَ
عَلَى
النَّهَارِ
وَيُكَوِّرُ
النَّهَارَ
عَلَى
اللَّيْلِ
وَسَخَّرَ
الشَّمْسَ
وَالْقَمَرَ
كُلٌّ
يَجْرِي
لِأَجَلٍ
مُّسَمًّى
أَلَا
هُوَ
الْعَزِيزُ
الْغَفَّارُ

He created the heavens and the earth with consummate wisdom. He winds the night over the day, and winds the day over the night, and He has disposed the sun and the moon, each moving for a specified term. Indeed, He is the All-mighty, the All-forgiver!
— Ali Quli Qarai
He created the heavens and the earth in true (proportions): He makes the Night overlap the Day, and the Day overlap the Night: He has subjected the sun and the moon (to His law): Each one follows a course for a time appointed. Is not He the Exalted in Power - He Who forgives again and again?
