আল আদিয়াত (যারা উর্ধ্বশ্বাসে দৌড়ায়)

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

1 I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,

2 Striking sparks of fire

2 Then those that produce fire striking,

3 And scouring to the raid at dawn,

3 Then those that make raids at morn,

4 Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,

4 Then thereby raise dust,

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

5 Then rush thereby upon an assembly:

6 Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord

6 Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.

7 And lo! he is a witness unto that;

7 And most surely he is a witness of that.

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

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

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

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

10 And the secrets of the breasts are made known,

10 And what is in the breasts is made apparent?

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

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