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