Chapter 100, 11 verses
WaalAAadiyati dabhan
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالْعَادِيَاتِ ضَبْحًا
I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,
By the (Steeds) that run, with panting (breath),
Faalmooriyati qadhan
فَالْمُورِيَاتِ قَدْحًا
Then those that produce fire striking,
And strike sparks of fire,
Faalmugheerati subhan
فَالْمُغِيرَاتِ صُبْحًا
Then those that make raids at morn,
And push home the charge in the morning,
Faatharna bihi naqAAan
فَأَثَرْنَ بِهِ نَقْعًا
Then thereby raise dust,
And raise the dust in clouds the while,
Fawasatna bihi jamAAan
فَوَسَطْنَ بِهِ جَمْعًا
Then rush thereby upon an assembly:
And penetrate forthwith into the midst (of the foe) en masse; -
Inna alinsana lirabbihi lakanoodun
إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لِرَبِّهِ لَكَنُودٌ
Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.
Truly man is, to his Lord, ungrateful;
Wainnahu AAala thalika lashaheedun
وَإِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ لَشَهِيدٌ
And most surely he is a witness of that.
And to that (fact) he bears witness (by his deeds);
Wainnahu lihubbi alkhayri lashadeedun
وَإِنَّهُ لِحُبِّ الْخَيْرِ لَشَدِيدٌ
And most surely he is tenacious in the love of wealth.
And violent is he in his love of wealth.
Afala yaAAlamu itha buAAthira ma fee alquboori
۞ أَفَلَا يَعْلَمُ إِذَا بُعْثِرَ مَا فِي الْقُبُورِ
Does he not then know when what is in the graves is raised,
Does he not know, - when that which is in the graves is scattered abroad
Wahussila ma fee alssudoori
وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِي الصُّدُورِ
And what is in the breasts is made apparent?
And that which is (locked up) in (human) breasts is made manifest -
Inna rabbahum bihim yawmaithin lakhabeerun
إِنَّ رَبَّهُم بِهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّخَبِيرٌ
Most surely their Lord that day shall be fully aware of them.
That their Lord had been Well - acquainted with them, (even to) that Day?
