Al Adiyat

1 WaalAAadiyati dabhan

1 By the (Steeds) that run, with panting (breath),

1 I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,

2 Faalmooriyati qadhan

2 And strike sparks of fire,

2 Then those that produce fire striking,

3 Faalmugheerati subhan

3 And push home the charge in the morning,

3 Then those that make raids at morn,

4 Faatharna bihi naqAAan

4 And raise the dust in clouds the while,

4 Then thereby raise dust,

5 Fawasatna bihi jamAAan

5 And penetrate forthwith into the midst (of the foe) en masse; -

5 Then rush thereby upon an assembly:

6 Inna alinsana lirabbihi lakanoodun

6 Truly man is, to his Lord, ungrateful;

6 Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.

7 Wainnahu AAala thalika lashaheedun

7 And to that (fact) he bears witness (by his deeds);

7 And most surely he is a witness of that.

8 Wainnahu lihubbi alkhayri lashadeedun

8 And violent is he in his love of wealth.

8 And most surely he is tenacious in the love of wealth.

9 Afala yaAAlamu itha buAAthira ma fee alquboori

9 Does he not know, - when that which is in the graves is scattered abroad

9 Does he not then know when what is in the graves is raised,

10 Wahussila ma fee alssudoori

10 And that which is (locked up) in (human) breasts is made manifest -

10 And what is in the breasts is made apparent?

11 Inna rabbahum bihim yawmaithin lakhabeerun

11 That their Lord had been Well - acquainted with them, (even to) that Day?

11 Most surely their Lord that day shall be fully aware of them.
