2 Then those that produce fire striking,

2 And the producers of sparks [when] striking

2 Faalmooriyati qadhan

3 And the chargers at dawn,

3 Faalmugheerati subhan

4 Then thereby raise dust,

4 Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,

4 Faatharna bihi naqAAan

5 Then rush thereby upon an assembly:

5 Arriving thereby in the center collectively,

5 Fawasatna bihi jamAAan

7 And most surely he is a witness of that.

7 And indeed, he is to that a witness.

7 Wainnahu AAala thalika lashaheedun

8 And most surely he is tenacious in the love of wealth.

8 And indeed he is, in love of wealth, intense.

8 Wainnahu lihubbi alkhayri lashadeedun

9 But does he not know that when the contents of the graves are scattered

9 Afala yaAAlamu itha buAAthira ma fee alquboori

10 And what is in the breasts is made apparent?

10 And that within the breasts is obtained,

10 Wahussila ma fee alssudoori

11 Most surely their Lord that day shall be fully aware of them.

11 Indeed, their Lord with them, that Day, is [fully] Acquainted.

11 Inna rabbahum bihim yawmaithin lakhabeerun
