الـعاديات

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

1 By the racers, panting,

1 WaalAAadiyati dabhan

2 Striking sparks of fire

2 And the producers of sparks [when] striking

2 Faalmooriyati qadhan

3 And scouring to the raid at dawn,

3 And the chargers at dawn,

3 Faalmugheerati subhan

4 Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,

4 Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,

4 Faatharna bihi naqAAan

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

5 Arriving thereby in the center collectively,

5 Fawasatna bihi jamAAan

6 Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord

6 Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.

6 Inna alinsana lirabbihi lakanoodun

7 And lo! he is a witness unto that;

7 And indeed, he is to that a witness.

7 Wainnahu AAala thalika lashaheedun

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

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

8 Wainnahu lihubbi alkhayri lashadeedun

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

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

9 Afala yaAAlamu itha buAAthira ma fee alquboori

10 And the secrets of the breasts are made known,

10 And that within the breasts is obtained,

10 Wahussila ma fee alssudoori

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

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

11 Inna rabbahum bihim yawmaithin lakhabeerun
