1 In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. By the (steeds) that run, with panting.

1 I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,

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

2 Striking sparks of fire (by their hooves).

2 Then those that produce fire striking,

2 Striking sparks of fire

3 And scouring to the raid at dawn.

3 Then those that make raids at morn,

3 And scouring to the raid at dawn,

4 And raise the dust in clouds the while.

4 Then thereby raise dust,

4 Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,

5 And penetrating forthwith as one into the midst (of the foe).

5 Then rush thereby upon an assembly:

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

6 Verily, man (disbeliever) is ungrateful to his Lord.

6 Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.

6 Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord

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

7 And most surely he is a witness of that.

7 And lo! he is a witness unto that;

8 And verily, he is violent in the love of wealth.

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

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

9 Knows he not that when the contents of the graves are poured forth (all mankind is resurrected)?

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

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

10 And that which is in the breasts (of men) is made known?

10 And what is in the breasts is made apparent?

10 And the secrets of the breasts are made known,

11 Verily, that Day (i.e. the Day of Resurrection) their Lord will be Well-Acquainted with them (as to their deeds and will reward them for their deeds).

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

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