الـعاديات

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the snorting courses,

1 I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,

1 WaalAAadiyati dabhan

2 Striking sparks of fire

2 Then those that produce fire striking,

2 Faalmooriyati qadhan

3 And scouring to the raid at dawn,

3 Then those that make raids at morn,

3 Faalmugheerati subhan

4 Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,

4 Then thereby raise dust,

4 Faatharna bihi naqAAan

5 Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),

5 Then rush thereby upon an assembly:

5 Fawasatna bihi jamAAan

6 Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord

6 Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.

6 Inna alinsana lirabbihi lakanoodun

7 And lo! he is a witness unto that;

7 And most surely he is a witness of that.

7 Wainnahu AAala thalika lashaheedun

8 And lo! in the love of wealth he is violent.

8 And most surely he is tenacious in the love of wealth.

8 Wainnahu lihubbi alkhayri lashadeedun

9 Knoweth he not that, when the contents of the graves are poured forth

9 Does he not then know when what is in the graves is raised,

9 Afala yaAAlamu itha buAAthira ma fee alquboori

10 And the secrets of the breasts are made known,

10 And what is in the breasts is made apparent?

10 Wahussila ma fee alssudoori

11 On that day will their Lord be perfectly informed concerning them.

11 Most surely their Lord that day shall be fully aware of them.

11 Inna rabbahum bihim yawmaithin lakhabeerun
