In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the snorting courses,
I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. By the (steeds) that run, with panting.
وَٱلْعَٰدِيَٰتِ ضَبْحًا

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the snorting courses,
I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. By the (steeds) that run, with panting.

Then those that produce fire striking,
Striking sparks of fire (by their hooves).

Then those that make raids at morn,
And scouring to the raid at dawn.
فَٱلْمُغِيرَٰتِ صُبْحًا
