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

1 By the racers, panting,

1 WaalAAadiyati dabhan

2 And strike sparks of fire,

2 And the producers of sparks [when] striking

2 Faalmooriyati qadhan

3 And push home the charge in the morning,

3 And the chargers at dawn,

3 Faalmugheerati subhan

4 And raise the dust in clouds the while,

4 Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,

4 Faatharna bihi naqAAan

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

5 Arriving thereby in the center collectively,

5 Fawasatna bihi jamAAan

6 Truly man is, to his Lord, ungrateful;

6 Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.

6 Inna alinsana lirabbihi lakanoodun

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

7 And indeed, he is to that a witness.

7 Wainnahu AAala thalika lashaheedun

8 And violent is he in his love of wealth.

8 And indeed he is, in love of wealth, intense.

8 Wainnahu lihubbi alkhayri lashadeedun

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

9 But does he not know that when the contents of the graves are scattered

9 Afala yaAAlamu itha buAAthira ma fee alquboori

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

10 And that within the breasts is obtained,

10 Wahussila ma fee alssudoori

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

11 Indeed, their Lord with them, that Day, is [fully] Acquainted.

11 Inna rabbahum bihim yawmaithin lakhabeerun
