Al Adiyat

Shakir

1 I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,

Pickthall

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the snorting courses,

Yusuf Ali

1 By the (Steeds) that run, with panting (breath),

Shakir

2 Then those that produce fire striking,

Pickthall

2 Striking sparks of fire

Yusuf Ali

2 And strike sparks of fire,

Shakir

3 Then those that make raids at morn,

Pickthall

3 And scouring to the raid at dawn,

Yusuf Ali

3 And push home the charge in the morning,

Shakir

4 Then thereby raise dust,

Pickthall

4 Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,

Yusuf Ali

4 And raise the dust in clouds the while,

Shakir

5 Then rush thereby upon an assembly:

Pickthall

5 Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),

Yusuf Ali

5 And penetrate forthwith into the midst (of the foe) en masse; -

Shakir

6 Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.

Pickthall

6 Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord

Yusuf Ali

6 Truly man is, to his Lord, ungrateful;

Shakir

7 And most surely he is a witness of that.

Pickthall

7 And lo! he is a witness unto that;

Yusuf Ali

7 And to that (fact) he bears witness (by his deeds);

Shakir

8 And most surely he is tenacious in the love of wealth.

Pickthall

8 And lo! in the love of wealth he is violent.

Yusuf Ali

8 And violent is he in his love of wealth.

Shakir

9 Does he not then know when what is in the graves is raised,

Pickthall

9 Knoweth he not that, when the contents of the graves are poured forth

Yusuf Ali

9 Does he not know, - when that which is in the graves is scattered abroad

Shakir

10 And what is in the breasts is made apparent?

Pickthall

10 And the secrets of the breasts are made known,

Yusuf Ali

10 And that which is (locked up) in (human) breasts is made manifest -

Shakir

11 Most surely their Lord that day shall be fully aware of them.

Pickthall

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

Yusuf Ali

11 That their Lord had been Well - acquainted with them, (even to) that Day?
