Al Adiyat

1 I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,

1 By the racers, panting,

2 Then those that produce fire striking,

2 And the producers of sparks [when] striking

3 Then those that make raids at morn,

3 And the chargers at dawn,

4 Then thereby raise dust,

4 Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,

5 Then rush thereby upon an assembly:

5 Arriving thereby in the center collectively,

6 Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.

6 Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.

7 And most surely he is a witness of that.

7 And indeed, he is to that a witness.

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

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

9 Does he not then know when what is in the graves is raised,

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

10 And what is in the breasts is made apparent?

10 And that within the breasts is obtained,

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

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