Chapter 100, 11 verses
I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,
WaalAAadiyati dabhan
By the racers, panting,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والعاديات ضبحا
Then those that produce fire striking,
Faalmooriyati qadhan
And the producers of sparks [when] striking
فالموريات قدحا
Then those that make raids at morn,
Faalmugheerati subhan
And the chargers at dawn,
فالمغيرات صبحا
Then thereby raise dust,
Faatharna bihi naqAAan
Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,
فأثرن به نقعا
Then rush thereby upon an assembly:
Fawasatna bihi jamAAan
Arriving thereby in the center collectively,
فوسطن به جمعا
Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.
Inna alinsana lirabbihi lakanoodun
Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.
إن الإنسان لربه لكنود
And most surely he is a witness of that.
Wainnahu AAala thalika lashaheedun
And indeed, he is to that a witness.
وإنه على ذلك لشهيد
And most surely he is tenacious in the love of wealth.
Wainnahu lihubbi alkhayri lashadeedun
And indeed he is, in love of wealth, intense.
وإنه لحب الخير لشديد
Does he not then know when what is in the graves is raised,
Afala yaAAlamu itha buAAthira ma fee alquboori
But does he not know that when the contents of the graves are scattered
۞ أفلا يعلم إذا بعثر ما في القبور
And what is in the breasts is made apparent?
Wahussila ma fee alssudoori
And that within the breasts is obtained,
وحصل ما في الصدور
Most surely their Lord that day shall be fully aware of them.
Inna rabbahum bihim yawmaithin lakhabeerun
Indeed, their Lord with them, that Day, is [fully] Acquainted.
إن ربهم بهم يومئذ لخبير
