আল আদিয়াত

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

1 WaalAAadiyati dabhan

2 Striking sparks of fire

2 Faalmooriyati qadhan

3 And scouring to the raid at dawn,

3 Faalmugheerati subhan

4 Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,

4 Faatharna bihi naqAAan

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

5 Fawasatna bihi jamAAan

6 Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord

6 Inna alinsana lirabbihi lakanoodun

7 And lo! he is a witness unto that;

7 Wainnahu AAala thalika lashaheedun

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

8 Wainnahu lihubbi alkhayri lashadeedun

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

9 Afala yaAAlamu itha buAAthira ma fee alquboori

10 And the secrets of the breasts are made known,

10 Wahussila ma fee alssudoori

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

11 Inna rabbahum bihim yawmaithin lakhabeerun
