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