Chapter 100, 11 verses
I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,
By the racers, panting,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والعاديات ضبحا
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the snorting courses,
Then those that produce fire striking,
And the producers of sparks [when] striking
فالموريات قدحا
Striking sparks of fire
Then those that make raids at morn,
And the chargers at dawn,
فالمغيرات صبحا
And scouring to the raid at dawn,
Then thereby raise dust,
Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,
فأثرن به نقعا
Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,
Then rush thereby upon an assembly:
Arriving thereby in the center collectively,
فوسطن به جمعا
Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),
Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.
Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.
إن الإنسان لربه لكنود
Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord
And most surely he is a witness of that.
And indeed, he is to that a witness.
وإنه على ذلك لشهيد
And lo! he is a witness unto that;
And most surely he is tenacious in the love of wealth.
And indeed he is, in love of wealth, intense.
وإنه لحب الخير لشديد
And lo! in the love of wealth he is violent.
Does he not then know when what is in the graves is raised,
But does he not know that when the contents of the graves are scattered
۞ أفلا يعلم إذا بعثر ما في القبور
Knoweth he not that, when the contents of the graves are poured forth
And what is in the breasts is made apparent?
And that within the breasts is obtained,
وحصل ما في الصدور
And the secrets of the breasts are made known,
Most surely their Lord that day shall be fully aware of them.
Indeed, their Lord with them, that Day, is [fully] Acquainted.
إن ربهم بهم يومئذ لخبير
On that day will their Lord be perfectly concerning them.
