Chapter 100, 11 verses
I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,
By the (Steeds) that run, with panting (breath),
WaalAAadiyati dabhan
By the racers, panting,
Then those that produce fire striking,
And strike sparks of fire,
Faalmooriyati qadhan
And the producers of sparks [when] striking
Then those that make raids at morn,
And push home the charge in the morning,
Faalmugheerati subhan
And the chargers at dawn,
Then thereby raise dust,
And raise the dust in clouds the while,
Faatharna bihi naqAAan
Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,
Then rush thereby upon an assembly:
And penetrate forthwith into the midst (of the foe) en masse; -
Fawasatna bihi jamAAan
Arriving thereby in the center collectively,
Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.
Truly man is, to his Lord, ungrateful;
Inna alinsana lirabbihi lakanoodun
Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.
And most surely he is a witness of that.
And to that (fact) he bears witness (by his deeds);
Wainnahu AAala thalika lashaheedun
And indeed, he is to that a witness.
And most surely he is tenacious in the love of wealth.
And violent is he in his love of wealth.
Wainnahu lihubbi alkhayri lashadeedun
And indeed he is, in love of wealth, intense.
Does he not then know when what is in the graves is raised,
Does he not know, - when that which is in the graves is scattered abroad
Afala yaAAlamu itha buAAthira ma fee alquboori
But does he not know that when the contents of the graves are scattered
And what is in the breasts is made apparent?
And that which is (locked up) in (human) breasts is made manifest -
Wahussila ma fee alssudoori
And that within the breasts is obtained,
Most surely their Lord that day shall be fully aware of them.
That their Lord had been Well - acquainted with them, (even to) that Day?
Inna rabbahum bihim yawmaithin lakhabeerun
Indeed, their Lord with them, that Day, is [fully] Acquainted.
