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,
فالموريات قدحا
Striking sparks of fire
And the producers of sparks [when] striking
فالمغيرات صبحا
And scouring to the raid at dawn,
And the chargers at dawn,
فأثرن به نقعا
Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,
Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,
فوسطن به جمعا
Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),
Arriving thereby in the center collectively,
إن الإنسان لربه لكنود
Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord
Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.
وإنه على ذلك لشهيد
And lo! he is a witness unto that;
And indeed, he is to that a witness.
وإنه لحب الخير لشديد
And lo! in the love of wealth he is violent.
And indeed he is, in love of wealth, intense.
۞ 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
وحصل ما في الصدور
And the secrets of the breasts are made known,
And that within the breasts is obtained,
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.
