Chapter 100, 11 verses
WaalAAadiyati dabhan
By the (Steeds) that run, with panting (breath),
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والعاديات ضبحا
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the snorting courses,
Faalmooriyati qadhan
And strike sparks of fire,
فالموريات قدحا
Striking sparks of fire
Faalmugheerati subhan
And push home the charge in the morning,
فالمغيرات صبحا
And scouring to the raid at dawn,
Faatharna bihi naqAAan
And raise the dust in clouds the while,
فأثرن به نقعا
Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,
Fawasatna bihi jamAAan
And penetrate forthwith into the midst (of the foe) en masse; -
فوسطن به جمعا
Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),
Inna alinsana lirabbihi lakanoodun
Truly man is, to his Lord, ungrateful;
إن الإنسان لربه لكنود
Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord
Wainnahu AAala thalika lashaheedun
And to that (fact) he bears witness (by his deeds);
وإنه على ذلك لشهيد
And lo! he is a witness unto that;
Wainnahu lihubbi alkhayri lashadeedun
And violent is he in his love of wealth.
وإنه لحب الخير لشديد
And lo! in the love of wealth he is violent.
Afala yaAAlamu itha buAAthira ma fee alquboori
Does he not know, - when that which is in the graves is scattered abroad
۞ أفلا يعلم إذا بعثر ما في القبور
Knoweth he not that, when the contents of the graves are poured forth
Wahussila ma fee alssudoori
And that which is (locked up) in (human) breasts is made manifest -
وحصل ما في الصدور
And the secrets of the breasts are made known,
Inna rabbahum bihim yawmaithin lakhabeerun
That their Lord had been Well - acquainted with them, (even to) that Day?
إن ربهم بهم يومئذ لخبير
On that day will their Lord be perfectly concerning them.
