الـعاديات

1 WaalAAadiyati dabhan

1 By the racers, panting,

1 I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,

2 Faalmooriyati qadhan

2 And the producers of sparks [when] striking

2 Then those that produce fire striking,

3 Faalmugheerati subhan

3 And the chargers at dawn,

3 Then those that make raids at morn,

4 Faatharna bihi naqAAan

4 Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,

4 Then thereby raise dust,

5 Fawasatna bihi jamAAan

5 Arriving thereby in the center collectively,

5 Then rush thereby upon an assembly:

6 Inna alinsana lirabbihi lakanoodun

6 Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.

6 Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.

7 Wainnahu AAala thalika lashaheedun

7 And indeed, he is to that a witness.

7 And most surely he is a witness of that.

8 Wainnahu lihubbi alkhayri lashadeedun

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

8 And most surely he is tenacious in the love of wealth.

9 Afala yaAAlamu itha buAAthira ma fee alquboori

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

9 Does he not then know when what is in the graves is raised,

10 Wahussila ma fee alssudoori

10 And that within the breasts is obtained,

10 And what is in the breasts is made apparent?

11 Inna rabbahum bihim yawmaithin lakhabeerun

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

11 Most surely their Lord that day shall be fully aware of them.
