Chapter 100, 11 verses
WaalAAadiyati dabhan
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والعاديات ضبحا
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the snorting courses,
By the racers, panting,
Faalmooriyati qadhan
فالموريات قدحا
Striking sparks of fire
And the producers of sparks [when] striking
Faalmugheerati subhan
فالمغيرات صبحا
And scouring to the raid at dawn,
And the chargers at dawn,
Faatharna bihi naqAAan
فأثرن به نقعا
Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,
Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,
Fawasatna bihi jamAAan
فوسطن به جمعا
Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),
Arriving thereby in the center collectively,
Inna alinsana lirabbihi lakanoodun
إن الإنسان لربه لكنود
Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord
Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.
Wainnahu AAala thalika lashaheedun
وإنه على ذلك لشهيد
And lo! he is a witness unto that;
And indeed, he is to that a witness.
Wainnahu lihubbi alkhayri lashadeedun
وإنه لحب الخير لشديد
And lo! in the love of wealth he is violent.
And indeed he is, in love of wealth, intense.
Afala yaAAlamu itha buAAthira ma fee alquboori
۞ أفلا يعلم إذا بعثر ما في القبور
Knoweth he not that, when the contents of the graves are poured forth
But does he not know that when the contents of the graves are scattered
Wahussila ma fee alssudoori
وحصل ما في الصدور
And the secrets of the breasts are made known,
And that within the breasts is obtained,
Inna rabbahum bihim yawmaithin lakhabeerun
إن ربهم بهم يومئذ لخبير
On that day will their Lord be perfectly concerning them.
Indeed, their Lord with them, that Day, is [fully] Acquainted.
