Chapter 100, 11 verses
By the racers, panting,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والعاديات ضبحا
I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,
WaalAAadiyati dabhan
And the producers of sparks [when] striking
فالموريات قدحا
Then those that produce fire striking,
Faalmooriyati qadhan
And the chargers at dawn,
فالمغيرات صبحا
Then those that make raids at morn,
Faalmugheerati subhan
Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,
فأثرن به نقعا
Then thereby raise dust,
Faatharna bihi naqAAan
Arriving thereby in the center collectively,
فوسطن به جمعا
Then rush thereby upon an assembly:
Fawasatna bihi jamAAan
Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.
إن الإنسان لربه لكنود
Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.
Inna alinsana lirabbihi lakanoodun
And indeed, he is to that a witness.
وإنه على ذلك لشهيد
And most surely he is a witness of that.
Wainnahu AAala thalika lashaheedun
And indeed he is, in love of wealth, intense.
وإنه لحب الخير لشديد
And most surely he is tenacious in the love of wealth.
Wainnahu lihubbi alkhayri lashadeedun
But does he not know that when the contents of the graves are scattered
۞ أفلا يعلم إذا بعثر ما في القبور
Does he not then know when what is in the graves is raised,
Afala yaAAlamu itha buAAthira ma fee alquboori
And that within the breasts is obtained,
وحصل ما في الصدور
And what is in the breasts is made apparent?
Wahussila ma fee alssudoori
Indeed, their Lord with them, that Day, is [fully] Acquainted.
إن ربهم بهم يومئذ لخبير
Most surely their Lord that day shall be fully aware of them.
Inna rabbahum bihim yawmaithin lakhabeerun
