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 (Steeds) that run, with panting (breath),
Faalmooriyati qadhan
فالموريات قدحا
Striking sparks of fire
And strike sparks of fire,
Faalmugheerati subhan
فالمغيرات صبحا
And scouring to the raid at dawn,
And push home the charge in the morning,
Faatharna bihi naqAAan
فأثرن به نقعا
Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,
And raise the dust in clouds the while,
Fawasatna bihi jamAAan
فوسطن به جمعا
Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),
And penetrate forthwith into the midst (of the foe) en masse; -
Inna alinsana lirabbihi lakanoodun
إن الإنسان لربه لكنود
Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord
Truly man is, to his Lord, ungrateful;
Wainnahu AAala thalika lashaheedun
وإنه على ذلك لشهيد
And lo! he is a witness unto that;
And to that (fact) he bears witness (by his deeds);
Wainnahu lihubbi alkhayri lashadeedun
وإنه لحب الخير لشديد
And lo! in the love of wealth he is violent.
And violent is he in his love of wealth.
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
Does he not know, - when that which is in the graves is scattered abroad
Wahussila ma fee alssudoori
وحصل ما في الصدور
And the secrets of the breasts are made known,
And that which is (locked up) in (human) breasts is made manifest -
Inna rabbahum bihim yawmaithin lakhabeerun
إن ربهم بهم يومئذ لخبير
On that day will their Lord be perfectly concerning them.
That their Lord had been Well - acquainted with them, (even to) that Day?
