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,
And the producers of sparks [when] striking
فالموريات قدحا
Striking sparks of fire
And the chargers at dawn,
فالمغيرات صبحا
And scouring to the raid at dawn,
Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,
فأثرن به نقعا
Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,
Arriving thereby in the center collectively,
فوسطن به جمعا
Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),
Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.
إن الإنسان لربه لكنود
Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord
And indeed, he is to that a witness.
وإنه على ذلك لشهيد
And lo! he is a witness unto that;
And indeed he is, in love of wealth, intense.
وإنه لحب الخير لشديد
And lo! in the love of wealth he is violent.
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
And that within the breasts is obtained,
وحصل ما في الصدور
And the secrets of the breasts are made known,
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.
