Word by word

وَلِسُلَيْمَـٰنَ ٱلرِّيحَ غُدُوُّهَا شَهْرٌ وَرَوَاحُهَا شَهْرٌ ۖ وَأَسَلْنَا لَهُۥ عَيْنَ ٱلْقِطْرِ ۖ وَمِنَ ٱلْجِنِّ مَن يَعْمَلُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِۦ ۖ وَمَن يَزِغْ مِنْهُمْ عَنْ أَمْرِنَا نُذِقْهُ مِنْ عَذَابِ ٱلسَّعِيرِ

And to Solomon [We subjected] the wind - its morning [journey was that of] a month - and its afternoon [journey was that of] a month, and We made flow for him a spring of [liquid] copper. And among the jinn were those who worked for him by the permission of his Lord. And whoever deviated among them from Our command - We will make him taste of the punishment of the Blaze.

وسخَّرنا لسليمان الريح تجري من أول النهار إلى انتصافه مسيرة شهر، ومن منتصف النهار إلى الليل مسيرة شهر بالسير المعتاد، وأسلنا له النحاس كما يسيل الماء، يعمل به ما يشاء، وسخَّرنا له من الجن من يعمل بين يديه بإذن ربه، ومن يعدل منهم عن أمرنا الذي أمرناه به من طاعة سليمان نذقه من عذاب النار المستعرة.
