الـعاديات

1 WaalAAadiyati dabhan

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

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

2 Faalmooriyati qadhan

2 And strike sparks of fire,

2 Striking sparks of fire

3 Faalmugheerati subhan

3 And push home the charge in the morning,

3 And scouring to the raid at dawn,

4 Faatharna bihi naqAAan

4 And raise the dust in clouds the while,

4 Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,

5 Fawasatna bihi jamAAan

5 And penetrate forthwith into the midst (of the foe) en masse; -

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

6 Inna alinsana lirabbihi lakanoodun

6 Truly man is, to his Lord, ungrateful;

6 Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord

7 Wainnahu AAala thalika lashaheedun

7 And to that (fact) he bears witness (by his deeds);

7 And lo! he is a witness unto that;

8 Wainnahu lihubbi alkhayri lashadeedun

8 And violent is he in his love of wealth.

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

9 Afala yaAAlamu itha buAAthira ma fee alquboori

9 Does he not know, - when that which is in the graves is scattered abroad

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

10 Wahussila ma fee alssudoori

10 And that which is (locked up) in (human) breasts is made manifest -

10 And the secrets of the breasts are made known,

11 Inna rabbahum bihim yawmaithin lakhabeerun

11 That their Lord had been Well - acquainted with them, (even to) that Day?

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