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,
Faalmooriyati qadhan
Then those that produce fire striking,
Striking sparks of fire
Faalmugheerati subhan
Then those that make raids at morn,
And scouring to the raid at dawn,
Faatharna bihi naqAAan
Then thereby raise dust,
Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,
Fawasatna bihi jamAAan
Then rush thereby upon an assembly:
Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),
Inna alinsana lirabbihi lakanoodun
Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.
Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord
Wainnahu AAala thalika lashaheedun
And most surely he is a witness of that.
And lo! he is a witness unto that;
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.
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
Wahussila ma fee alssudoori
And what is in the breasts is made apparent?
And the secrets of the breasts are made known,
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.
