Chapter 100, 11 verses
By the racers, panting,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والعاديات ضبحا
By the (Steeds) that run, with panting (breath),
I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,
And the producers of sparks [when] striking
فالموريات قدحا
And strike sparks of fire,
Then those that produce fire striking,
And the chargers at dawn,
فالمغيرات صبحا
And push home the charge in the morning,
Then those that make raids at morn,
Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,
فأثرن به نقعا
And raise the dust in clouds the while,
Then thereby raise dust,
Arriving thereby in the center collectively,
فوسطن به جمعا
And penetrate forthwith into the midst (of the foe) en masse; -
Then rush thereby upon an assembly:
Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.
إن الإنسان لربه لكنود
Truly man is, to his Lord, ungrateful;
Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.
And indeed, he is to that a witness.
وإنه على ذلك لشهيد
And to that (fact) he bears witness (by his deeds);
And most surely he is a witness of that.
And indeed he is, in love of wealth, intense.
وإنه لحب الخير لشديد
And violent is he in his love of wealth.
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
Does he not know, - when that which is in the graves is scattered abroad
Does he not then know when what is in the graves is raised,
And that within the breasts is obtained,
وحصل ما في الصدور
And that which is (locked up) in (human) breasts is made manifest -
And what is in the breasts is made apparent?
Indeed, their Lord with them, that Day, is [fully] Acquainted.
إن ربهم بهم يومئذ لخبير
That their Lord had been Well - acquainted with them, (even to) that Day?
Most surely their Lord that day shall be fully aware of them.
