In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the snorting courses,
By the (Steeds) that run, with panting (breath),

Striking sparks of fire
And strike sparks of fire,

And the chargers at dawn,
And scouring to the raid at dawn,
And push home the charge in the morning,

Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,
And raise the dust in clouds the while,

Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),
And penetrate forthwith into the midst (of the foe) en masse; -

And lo! in the love of wealth he is violent.
And violent is he in his love of wealth.

Knoweth he not that, when the contents of the graves are poured forth

And that within the breasts is obtained,
And the secrets of the breasts are made known,
And that which is (locked up) in (human) breasts is made manifest -
Wahussila ma fee alssudoori
Indeed, their Lord with them, that Day, is [fully] Acquainted.
On that day will their Lord be perfectly concerning them.
That their Lord had been Well - acquainted with them, (even to) that Day?
