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

1 WaalAAadiyati dabhan

1 By the (Steeds) that run, with panting (breath),

2 Striking sparks of fire

4 Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,

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

6 Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord
