Chapter 100, 11 verses
By the racers, panting,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والعاديات ضبحا
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the snorting courses,
I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,
And the producers of sparks [when] striking
فالموريات قدحا
Striking sparks of fire
Then those that produce fire striking,
And the chargers at dawn,
فالمغيرات صبحا
And scouring to the raid at dawn,
Then those that make raids at morn,
Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,
فأثرن به نقعا
Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,
Then thereby raise dust,
Arriving thereby in the center collectively,
فوسطن به جمعا
Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),
Then rush thereby upon an assembly:
Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.
إن الإنسان لربه لكنود
Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord
Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.
And indeed, he is to that a witness.
وإنه على ذلك لشهيد
And lo! he is a witness unto that;
And most surely he is a witness of that.
And indeed he is, in love of wealth, intense.
وإنه لحب الخير لشديد
And lo! in the love of wealth he is violent.
And most surely he is tenacious in the love of wealth.
But does he not know that when the contents of the graves are scattered
۞ أفلا يعلم إذا بعثر ما في القبور
Knoweth he not that, when the contents of the graves are poured forth
Does he not then know when what is in the graves is raised,
And that within the breasts is obtained,
وحصل ما في الصدور
And the secrets of the breasts are made known,
And what is in the breasts is made apparent?
Indeed, their Lord with them, that Day, is [fully] Acquainted.
إن ربهم بهم يومئذ لخبير
On that day will their Lord be perfectly concerning them.
Most surely their Lord that day shall be fully aware of them.
