Al Adiyat

1 WaalAAadiyati dabhan

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the snorting courses,

1 I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,

2 Faalmooriyati qadhan

2 Striking sparks of fire

2 Then those that produce fire striking,

3 Faalmugheerati subhan

3 And scouring to the raid at dawn,

3 Then those that make raids at morn,

4 Faatharna bihi naqAAan

4 Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,

4 Then thereby raise dust,

5 Fawasatna bihi jamAAan

5 Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),

5 Then rush thereby upon an assembly:

6 Inna alinsana lirabbihi lakanoodun

6 Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord

6 Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.

7 Wainnahu AAala thalika lashaheedun

7 And lo! he is a witness unto that;

7 And most surely he is a witness of that.

8 Wainnahu lihubbi alkhayri lashadeedun

8 And lo! in the love of wealth he is violent.

8 And most surely he is tenacious in the love of wealth.

9 Afala yaAAlamu itha buAAthira ma fee alquboori

9 Knoweth he not that, when the contents of the graves are poured forth

9 Does he not then know when what is in the graves is raised,

10 Wahussila ma fee alssudoori

10 And the secrets of the breasts are made known,

10 And what is in the breasts is made apparent?

11 Inna rabbahum bihim yawmaithin lakhabeerun

11 On that day will their Lord be perfectly informed concerning them.

11 Most surely their Lord that day shall be fully aware of them.
