Chapter 100, 11 verses
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والعاديات ضبحا
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the snorting courses,
By the racers, panting,
I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,
فالموريات قدحا
Striking sparks of fire
And the producers of sparks [when] striking
Then those that produce fire striking,
فالمغيرات صبحا
And scouring to the raid at dawn,
And the chargers at dawn,
Then those that make raids at morn,
فأثرن به نقعا
Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,
Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,
Then thereby raise dust,
فوسطن به جمعا
Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),
Arriving thereby in the center collectively,
Then rush thereby upon an assembly:
إن الإنسان لربه لكنود
Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord
Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.
Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.
وإنه على ذلك لشهيد
And lo! he is a witness unto that;
And indeed, he is to that a witness.
And most surely he is a witness of that.
وإنه لحب الخير لشديد
And lo! in the love of wealth he is violent.
And indeed he is, in love of wealth, intense.
And most surely he is tenacious in the love of wealth.
۞ أفلا يعلم إذا بعثر ما في القبور
Knoweth he not that, when the contents of the graves are poured forth
But does he not know that when the contents of the graves are scattered
Does he not then know when what is in the graves is raised,
وحصل ما في الصدور
And the secrets of the breasts are made known,
And that within the breasts is obtained,
And what is in the breasts is made apparent?
إن ربهم بهم يومئذ لخبير
On that day will their Lord be perfectly concerning them.
Indeed, their Lord with them, that Day, is [fully] Acquainted.
Most surely their Lord that day shall be fully aware of them.
