Chapter 100, 11 verses
I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,
WaalAAadiyati dabhan
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالْعَادِيَاتِ ضَبْحًا
By the (Steeds) that run, with panting (breath),
Then those that produce fire striking,
Faalmooriyati qadhan
فَالْمُورِيَاتِ قَدْحًا
And strike sparks of fire,
Then those that make raids at morn,
Faalmugheerati subhan
فَالْمُغِيرَاتِ صُبْحًا
And push home the charge in the morning,
Then thereby raise dust,
Faatharna bihi naqAAan
فَأَثَرْنَ بِهِ نَقْعًا
And raise the dust in clouds the while,
Then rush thereby upon an assembly:
Fawasatna bihi jamAAan
فَوَسَطْنَ بِهِ جَمْعًا
And penetrate forthwith into the midst (of the foe) en masse; -
Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.
Inna alinsana lirabbihi lakanoodun
إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لِرَبِّهِ لَكَنُودٌ
Truly man is, to his Lord, ungrateful;
And most surely he is a witness of that.
Wainnahu AAala thalika lashaheedun
وَإِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ لَشَهِيدٌ
And to that (fact) he bears witness (by his deeds);
And most surely he is tenacious in the love of wealth.
Wainnahu lihubbi alkhayri lashadeedun
وَإِنَّهُ لِحُبِّ الْخَيْرِ لَشَدِيدٌ
And violent is he in his love of wealth.
Does he not then know when what is in the graves is raised,
Afala yaAAlamu itha buAAthira ma fee alquboori
۞ أَفَلَا يَعْلَمُ إِذَا بُعْثِرَ مَا فِي الْقُبُورِ
Does he not know, - when that which is in the graves is scattered abroad
And what is in the breasts is made apparent?
Wahussila ma fee alssudoori
وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِي الصُّدُورِ
And that which is (locked up) in (human) breasts is made manifest -
Most surely their Lord that day shall be fully aware of them.
Inna rabbahum bihim yawmaithin lakhabeerun
إِنَّ رَبَّهُم بِهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّخَبِيرٌ
That their Lord had been Well - acquainted with them, (even to) that Day?
