আল আদিয়াত (উর্ধ্বশ্বাসে দৌড়ানো)

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

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

2 And strike sparks of fire,

2 Striking sparks of fire

3 And push home the charge in the morning,

3 And scouring to the raid at dawn,

4 And raise the dust in clouds the while,

4 Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,

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

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

6 Truly man is, to his Lord, ungrateful;

6 Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord

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

7 And lo! he is a witness unto that;

8 And violent is he in his love of wealth.

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

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

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

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

10 And the secrets of the breasts are made known,

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

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