Chapter 100, 11 verses
I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,
By the (Steeds) that run, with panting (breath),
وَٱلْعَٰدِيَٰتِ ضَبْحًا
Then those that produce fire striking,
And strike sparks of fire,
فَٱلْمُورِيَٰتِ قَدْحًا
Then those that make raids at morn,
And push home the charge in the morning,
فَٱلْمُغِيرَٰتِ صُبْحًا
Then thereby raise dust,
And raise the dust in clouds the while,
فَأَثَرْنَ بِهِۦ نَقْعًا
Then rush thereby upon an assembly:
And penetrate forthwith into the midst (of the foe) en masse; -
فَوَسَطْنَ بِهِۦ جَمْعًا
Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.
Truly man is, to his Lord, ungrateful;
إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ لِرَبِّهِۦ لَكَنُودٌ
And most surely he is a witness of that.
And to that (fact) he bears witness (by his deeds);
وَإِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ لَشَهِيدٌ
And most surely he is tenacious in the love of wealth.
And violent is he in his love of wealth.
وَإِنَّهُۥ لِحُبِّ ٱلْخَيْرِ لَشَدِيدٌ
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
أَفَلَا يَعْلَمُ إِذَا بُعْثِرَ مَا فِى ٱلْقُبُورِ
And what is in the breasts is made apparent?
And that which is (locked up) in (human) breasts is made manifest -
وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِى ٱلصُّدُورِ
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?
إِنَّ رَبَّهُم بِهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّخَبِيرٌۢ
