Chapter 100, 11 verses
WaalAAadiyati dabhan
I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والعاديات ضبحا
By the racers, panting,
Faalmooriyati qadhan
Then those that produce fire striking,
فالموريات قدحا
And the producers of sparks [when] striking
Faalmugheerati subhan
Then those that make raids at morn,
فالمغيرات صبحا
And the chargers at dawn,
Faatharna bihi naqAAan
Then thereby raise dust,
فأثرن به نقعا
Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,
Fawasatna bihi jamAAan
Then rush thereby upon an assembly:
فوسطن به جمعا
Arriving thereby in the center collectively,
Inna alinsana lirabbihi lakanoodun
Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.
إن الإنسان لربه لكنود
Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.
Wainnahu AAala thalika lashaheedun
And most surely he is a witness of that.
وإنه على ذلك لشهيد
And indeed, he is to that a witness.
Wainnahu lihubbi alkhayri lashadeedun
And most surely he is tenacious in the love of wealth.
وإنه لحب الخير لشديد
And indeed he is, in love of wealth, intense.
Afala yaAAlamu itha buAAthira ma fee alquboori
Does he not then know when what is in the graves is raised,
۞ أفلا يعلم إذا بعثر ما في القبور
But does he not know that when the contents of the graves are scattered
Wahussila ma fee alssudoori
And what is in the breasts is made apparent?
وحصل ما في الصدور
And that within the breasts is obtained,
Inna rabbahum bihim yawmaithin lakhabeerun
Most surely their Lord that day shall be fully aware of them.
إن ربهم بهم يومئذ لخبير
Indeed, their Lord with them, that Day, is [fully] Acquainted.
