الـعاديات

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

1 WaalAAadiyati dabhan

1 By the racers, panting,

2 Striking sparks of fire

2 Faalmooriyati qadhan

2 And the producers of sparks [when] striking

3 And scouring to the raid at dawn,

3 Faalmugheerati subhan

3 And the chargers at dawn,

4 Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,

4 Faatharna bihi naqAAan

4 Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,

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

5 Fawasatna bihi jamAAan

5 Arriving thereby in the center collectively,

6 Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord

6 Inna alinsana lirabbihi lakanoodun

6 Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.

7 And lo! he is a witness unto that;

7 Wainnahu AAala thalika lashaheedun

7 And indeed, he is to that a witness.

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

8 Wainnahu lihubbi alkhayri lashadeedun

8 And indeed he is, in love of wealth, intense.

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

9 Afala yaAAlamu itha buAAthira ma fee alquboori

9 But does he not know that when the contents of the graves are scattered

10 And the secrets of the breasts are made known,

10 Wahussila ma fee alssudoori

10 And that within the breasts is obtained,

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

11 Inna rabbahum bihim yawmaithin lakhabeerun

11 Indeed, their Lord with them, that Day, is [fully] Acquainted.
