Chapter 100, 11 verses
I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,
By the racers, panting,
WaalAAadiyati dabhan
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
Faalmooriyati qadhan
Striking sparks of fire
Then those that make raids at morn,
And the chargers at dawn,
Faalmugheerati subhan
And scouring to the raid at dawn,
Then thereby raise dust,
Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,
Faatharna bihi naqAAan
Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,
Then rush thereby upon an assembly:
Arriving thereby in the center collectively,
Fawasatna bihi jamAAan
Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),
Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.
Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.
Inna alinsana lirabbihi lakanoodun
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.
Wainnahu AAala thalika lashaheedun
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.
Wainnahu lihubbi alkhayri lashadeedun
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
Afala yaAAlamu itha buAAthira ma fee alquboori
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,
Wahussila ma fee alssudoori
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.
Inna rabbahum bihim yawmaithin lakhabeerun
On that day will their Lord be perfectly concerning them.
