Chapter 100, 11 verses
WaalAAadiyati dabhan
By the (Steeds) that run, with panting (breath),
I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,
By the racers, panting,
Faalmooriyati qadhan
And strike sparks of fire,
Then those that produce fire striking,
And the producers of sparks [when] striking
Faalmugheerati subhan
And push home the charge in the morning,
Then those that make raids at morn,
And the chargers at dawn,
Faatharna bihi naqAAan
And raise the dust in clouds the while,
Then thereby raise dust,
Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,
Fawasatna bihi jamAAan
And penetrate forthwith into the midst (of the foe) en masse; -
Then rush thereby upon an assembly:
Arriving thereby in the center collectively,
Inna alinsana lirabbihi lakanoodun
Truly man is, to his Lord, ungrateful;
Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.
Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.
Wainnahu AAala thalika lashaheedun
And to that (fact) he bears witness (by his deeds);
And most surely he is a witness of that.
And indeed, he is to that a witness.
Wainnahu lihubbi alkhayri lashadeedun
And violent is he in his love of wealth.
And most surely he is tenacious in the love of wealth.
And indeed he is, in love of wealth, intense.
Afala yaAAlamu itha buAAthira ma fee alquboori
Does he not know, - when that which is in the graves is scattered abroad
Does he not then know when what is in the graves is raised,
But does he not know that when the contents of the graves are scattered
Wahussila ma fee alssudoori
And that which is (locked up) in (human) breasts is made manifest -
And what is in the breasts is made apparent?
And that within the breasts is obtained,
Inna rabbahum bihim yawmaithin lakhabeerun
That their Lord had been Well - acquainted with them, (even to) that Day?
Most surely their Lord that day shall be fully aware of them.
Indeed, their Lord with them, that Day, is [fully] Acquainted.
