1 I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,

Transliteration

1 WaalAAadiyati dabhan

2 Striking sparks of fire

Shakir

3 Then those that make raids at morn,

Transliteration

Pickthall

3 And scouring to the raid at dawn,

Shakir

4 Then thereby raise dust,

Transliteration

4 Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,

Shakir

5 Then rush thereby upon an assembly:

Transliteration

5 Fawasatna bihi jamAAan

Shakir

6 Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.

Transliteration

6 Inna alinsana lirabbihi lakanoodun

Transliteration

8 Wainnahu lihubbi alkhayri lashadeedun

Transliteration

9 Afala yaAAlamu itha buAAthira ma fee alquboori

Pickthall

10 And the secrets of the breasts are made known,

Pickthall

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