আল আদিয়াত (যারা উর্ধ্বশ্বাসে দৌড়ায়)

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

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

2 Striking sparks of fire

2 And strike sparks of fire,

3 And scouring to the raid at dawn,

3 And push home the charge in the morning,

4 Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,

4 And raise the dust in clouds the while,

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

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

6 Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord

6 Truly man is, to his Lord, ungrateful;

7 And lo! he is a witness unto that;

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

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

8 And violent is he in his love of wealth.

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

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

10 And the secrets of the breasts are made known,

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

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

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