Chapter 100, 11 verses
WaalAAadiyati dabhan
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والعاديات ضبحا
By the racers, panting,
By the (Steeds) that run, with panting (breath),
Faalmooriyati qadhan
فالموريات قدحا
And the producers of sparks [when] striking
And strike sparks of fire,
Faalmugheerati subhan
فالمغيرات صبحا
And the chargers at dawn,
And push home the charge in the morning,
Faatharna bihi naqAAan
فأثرن به نقعا
Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,
And raise the dust in clouds the while,
Fawasatna bihi jamAAan
فوسطن به جمعا
Arriving thereby in the center collectively,
And penetrate forthwith into the midst (of the foe) en masse; -
Inna alinsana lirabbihi lakanoodun
إن الإنسان لربه لكنود
Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.
Truly man is, to his Lord, ungrateful;
Wainnahu AAala thalika lashaheedun
وإنه على ذلك لشهيد
And indeed, he is to that a witness.
And to that (fact) he bears witness (by his deeds);
Wainnahu lihubbi alkhayri lashadeedun
وإنه لحب الخير لشديد
And indeed he is, in love of wealth, intense.
And violent is he in his love of wealth.
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
Does he not know, - when that which is in the graves is scattered abroad
Wahussila ma fee alssudoori
وحصل ما في الصدور
And that within the breasts is obtained,
And that which is (locked up) in (human) breasts is made manifest -
Inna rabbahum bihim yawmaithin lakhabeerun
إن ربهم بهم يومئذ لخبير
Indeed, their Lord with them, that Day, is [fully] Acquainted.
That their Lord had been Well - acquainted with them, (even to) that Day?
