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