Surah Al-Muddaththir — 74:34

وَٱلصُّبْحِ إِذَآ أَسْفَرَ

Wassub hi izaaa asfar

I na zorzę poranną, kiedy się zjawia!

and by the morning when it grows bright,

Reflection

Morning is given through a verb of uncovering, the one that makes faces bright at 80:38 and stands behind the Arabic for travel. The three oaths climb from the moon through the retreating night to full light, and they answer a man who had just dismissed the recitation as inherited sorcery and human speech. What is being sworn to arrives only in the next line.
