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,
By the (Steeds) that run, with panting (breath),
And the producers of sparks [when] striking
فالموريات قدحا
Striking sparks of fire
And strike sparks of fire,
And the chargers at dawn,
فالمغيرات صبحا
And scouring to the raid at dawn,
And push home the charge in the morning,
Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,
فأثرن به نقعا
Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,
And raise the dust in clouds the while,
Arriving thereby in the center collectively,
فوسطن به جمعا
Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),
And penetrate forthwith into the midst (of the foe) en masse; -
Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.
إن الإنسان لربه لكنود
Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord
Truly man is, to his Lord, ungrateful;
And indeed, he is to that a witness.
وإنه على ذلك لشهيد
And lo! he is a witness unto that;
And to that (fact) he bears witness (by his deeds);
And indeed he is, in love of wealth, intense.
وإنه لحب الخير لشديد
And lo! in the love of wealth he is violent.
And violent is he in his 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 know, - when that which is in the graves is scattered abroad
And that within the breasts is obtained,
وحصل ما في الصدور
And the secrets of the breasts are made known,
And that which is (locked up) in (human) breasts is made manifest -
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.
That their Lord had been Well - acquainted with them, (even to) that Day?
