আল আদিয়াত (যারা উর্ধ্বশ্বাসে দৌড়ায়)

1 I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,

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

2 Then those that produce fire striking,

2 And strike sparks of fire,

3 Then those that make raids at morn,

3 And push home the charge in the morning,

4 Then thereby raise dust,

4 And raise the dust in clouds the while,

5 Then rush thereby upon an assembly:

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

6 Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.

6 Truly man is, to his Lord, ungrateful;

7 And most surely he is a witness of that.

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

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

8 And violent is he in his love of wealth.

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

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

10 And what is in the breasts is made apparent?

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

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

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