Al Adiyat

1 WaalAAadiyati dabhan

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

1 By the racers, panting,

2 Faalmooriyati qadhan

2 Striking sparks of fire

2 And the producers of sparks [when] striking

3 Faalmugheerati subhan

3 And scouring to the raid at dawn,

3 And the chargers at dawn,

4 Faatharna bihi naqAAan

4 Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,

4 Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,

5 Fawasatna bihi jamAAan

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

5 Arriving thereby in the center collectively,

6 Inna alinsana lirabbihi lakanoodun

6 Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord

6 Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.

7 Wainnahu AAala thalika lashaheedun

7 And lo! he is a witness unto that;

7 And indeed, he is to that a witness.

8 Wainnahu lihubbi alkhayri lashadeedun

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

8 And indeed he is, in love of wealth, intense.

9 Afala yaAAlamu itha buAAthira ma fee alquboori

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

9 But does he not know that when the contents of the graves are scattered

10 Wahussila ma fee alssudoori

10 And the secrets of the breasts are made known,

10 And that within the breasts is obtained,

11 Inna rabbahum bihim yawmaithin lakhabeerun

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

11 Indeed, their Lord with them, that Day, is [fully] Acquainted.
