الـعاديات

1 By the racers, panting,

1 WaalAAadiyati dabhan

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

2 And the producers of sparks [when] striking

2 Faalmooriyati qadhan

2 Striking sparks of fire

3 And the chargers at dawn,

3 Faalmugheerati subhan

3 And scouring to the raid at dawn,

4 Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,

4 Faatharna bihi naqAAan

4 Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,

5 Arriving thereby in the center collectively,

5 Fawasatna bihi jamAAan

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

6 Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.

6 Inna alinsana lirabbihi lakanoodun

6 Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord

7 And indeed, he is to that a witness.

7 Wainnahu AAala thalika lashaheedun

7 And lo! he is a witness unto that;

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

8 Wainnahu lihubbi alkhayri lashadeedun

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

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

9 Afala yaAAlamu itha buAAthira ma fee alquboori

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

10 And that within the breasts is obtained,

10 Wahussila ma fee alssudoori

10 And the secrets of the breasts are made known,

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

11 Inna rabbahum bihim yawmaithin lakhabeerun

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