Chapter 100, 11 verses
WaalAAadiyati dabhan
I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the snorting courses,
By the racers, panting,
Faalmooriyati qadhan
Then those that produce fire striking,
Striking sparks of fire
And the producers of sparks [when] striking
Faalmugheerati subhan
Then those that make raids at morn,
And scouring to the raid at dawn,
And the chargers at dawn,
Faatharna bihi naqAAan
Then thereby raise dust,
Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,
Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,
Fawasatna bihi jamAAan
Then rush thereby upon an assembly:
Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),
Arriving thereby in the center collectively,
Inna alinsana lirabbihi lakanoodun
Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.
Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord
Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.
Wainnahu AAala thalika lashaheedun
And most surely he is a witness of that.
And lo! he is a witness unto that;
And indeed, he is to that a witness.
Wainnahu lihubbi alkhayri lashadeedun
And most surely he is tenacious in the love of wealth.
And lo! in the love of wealth he is violent.
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,
Knoweth he not that, when the contents of the graves are poured forth
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?
And the secrets of the breasts are made known,
And that within the breasts is obtained,
Inna rabbahum bihim yawmaithin lakhabeerun
Most surely their Lord that day shall be fully aware of them.
On that day will their Lord be perfectly concerning them.
Indeed, their Lord with them, that Day, is [fully] Acquainted.
