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,

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

1 In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. By the (steeds) that run, with panting.

Shakir

2 Then those that produce fire striking,

Pickthall

2 Striking sparks of fire

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

2 Striking sparks of fire (by their hooves).

Shakir

3 Then those that make raids at morn,

Pickthall

3 And scouring to the raid at dawn,

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

3 And scouring to the raid at dawn.

Shakir

4 Then thereby raise dust,

Pickthall

4 Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

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),

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

5 And penetrating forthwith as one into the midst (of the foe).

Shakir

6 Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.

Pickthall

6 Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

6 Verily, man (disbeliever) is ungrateful to his Lord.

Shakir

7 And most surely he is a witness of that.

Pickthall

7 And lo! he is a witness unto that;

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

7 And to that 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.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

8 And verily, he is violent in the 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

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

9 Knows he not that when the contents of the graves are poured forth (all mankind is resurrected)?

Shakir

10 And what is in the breasts is made apparent?

Pickthall

10 And the secrets of the breasts are made known,

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

10 And that which is in the breasts (of men) is made known?

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.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

11 Verily, that Day (i.e. the Day of Resurrection) their Lord will be Well-Acquainted with them (as to their deeds and will reward them for their deeds).
