Al Adiyat

1 By the racers, panting,

1 I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,

2 And the producers of sparks [when] striking

2 Then those that produce fire striking,

3 And the chargers at dawn,

3 Then those that make raids at morn,

4 Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,

4 Then thereby raise dust,

5 Arriving thereby in the center collectively,

5 Then rush thereby upon an assembly:

6 Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.

6 Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.

7 And indeed, he is to that a witness.

7 And most surely he is a witness of that.

8 And indeed he is, in love of wealth, intense.

8 And most surely he is tenacious in the love of wealth.

9 But does he not know that when the contents of the graves are scattered

9 Does he not then know when what is in the graves is raised,

10 And that within the breasts is obtained,

10 And what is in the breasts is made apparent?

11 Indeed, their Lord with them, that Day, is [fully] Acquainted.

11 Most surely their Lord that day shall be fully aware of them.
