Chapter 100, 11 verses
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والعاديات ضبحا
By the racers, panting,
By the (Steeds) that run, with panting (breath),
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the snorting courses,
فالموريات قدحا
And the producers of sparks [when] striking
And strike sparks of fire,
Striking sparks of fire
فالمغيرات صبحا
And the chargers at dawn,
And push home the charge in the morning,
And scouring to the raid at dawn,
فأثرن به نقعا
Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,
And raise the dust in clouds the while,
Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,
فوسطن به جمعا
Arriving thereby in the center collectively,
And penetrate forthwith into the midst (of the foe) en masse; -
Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),
إن الإنسان لربه لكنود
Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.
Truly man is, to his Lord, ungrateful;
Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord
وإنه على ذلك لشهيد
And indeed, he is to that a witness.
And to that (fact) he bears witness (by his deeds);
And lo! he is a witness unto that;
وإنه لحب الخير لشديد
And indeed he is, in love of wealth, intense.
And violent is he in his love of wealth.
And lo! in the love of wealth he is violent.
۞ أفلا يعلم إذا بعثر ما في القبور
But does he not know that when the contents of the graves are scattered
Does he not know, - when that which is in the graves is scattered abroad
Knoweth he not that, when the contents of the graves are poured forth
وحصل ما في الصدور
And that within the breasts is obtained,
And that which is (locked up) in (human) breasts is made manifest -
And the secrets of the breasts are made known,
إن ربهم بهم يومئذ لخبير
Indeed, their Lord with them, that Day, is [fully] Acquainted.
That their Lord had been Well - acquainted with them, (even to) that Day?
On that day will their Lord be perfectly concerning them.
