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