Chapter 100, 11 verses
I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,
By the racers, panting,
WaalAAadiyati dabhan
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والعاديات ضبحا
Then those that produce fire striking,
And the producers of sparks [when] striking
Faalmooriyati qadhan
فالموريات قدحا
Then those that make raids at morn,
And the chargers at dawn,
Faalmugheerati subhan
فالمغيرات صبحا
Then thereby raise dust,
Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,
Faatharna bihi naqAAan
فأثرن به نقعا
Then rush thereby upon an assembly:
Arriving thereby in the center collectively,
Fawasatna bihi jamAAan
فوسطن به جمعا
Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.
Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.
Inna alinsana lirabbihi lakanoodun
إن الإنسان لربه لكنود
And most surely he is a witness of that.
And indeed, he is to that a witness.
Wainnahu AAala thalika lashaheedun
وإنه على ذلك لشهيد
And most surely he is tenacious in the love of wealth.
And indeed he is, in love of wealth, intense.
Wainnahu lihubbi alkhayri lashadeedun
وإنه لحب الخير لشديد
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
Afala yaAAlamu itha buAAthira ma fee alquboori
۞ أفلا يعلم إذا بعثر ما في القبور
And what is in the breasts is made apparent?
And that within the breasts is obtained,
Wahussila ma fee alssudoori
وحصل ما في الصدور
Most surely their Lord that day shall be fully aware of them.
Indeed, their Lord with them, that Day, is [fully] Acquainted.
Inna rabbahum bihim yawmaithin lakhabeerun
إن ربهم بهم يومئذ لخبير
