Chapter 100, 11 verses
I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والعاديات ضبحا
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the snorting courses,
Then those that produce fire striking,
فالموريات قدحا
Striking sparks of fire
Then those that make raids at morn,
فالمغيرات صبحا
And scouring to the raid at dawn,
Then thereby raise dust,
فأثرن به نقعا
Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,
Then rush thereby upon an assembly:
فوسطن به جمعا
Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),
Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.
إن الإنسان لربه لكنود
Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord
And most surely he is a witness of that.
وإنه على ذلك لشهيد
And lo! he is a witness unto that;
And most surely he is tenacious in the love of wealth.
وإنه لحب الخير لشديد
And lo! in the love of wealth he is violent.
Does he not then know when what is in the graves is raised,
۞ أفلا يعلم إذا بعثر ما في القبور
Knoweth he not that, when the contents of the graves are poured forth
And what is in the breasts is made apparent?
وحصل ما في الصدور
And the secrets of the breasts are made known,
Most surely their Lord that day shall be fully aware of them.
إن ربهم بهم يومئذ لخبير
On that day will their Lord be perfectly concerning them.
