আল আদিয়াত (যারা উর্ধ্বশ্বাসে দৌড়ায়)

1 I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,

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

2 Then those that produce fire striking,

2 Striking sparks of fire

3 Then those that make raids at morn,

3 And scouring to the raid at dawn,

4 Then thereby raise dust,

4 Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,

5 Then rush thereby upon an assembly:

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

6 Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.

6 Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord

7 And most surely he is a witness of that.

7 And lo! he is a witness unto that;

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

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

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 what is in the breasts is made apparent?

10 And the secrets of the breasts are made known,

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.
