Chapter 100, 11 verses
By the racers, panting,
I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والعاديات ضبحا
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the snorting courses,
And the producers of sparks [when] striking
Then those that produce fire striking,
فالموريات قدحا
Striking sparks of fire
And the chargers at dawn,
Then those that make raids at morn,
فالمغيرات صبحا
And scouring to the raid at dawn,
Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,
Then thereby raise dust,
فأثرن به نقعا
Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,
Arriving thereby in the center collectively,
Then rush thereby upon an assembly:
فوسطن به جمعا
Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),
Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.
Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.
إن الإنسان لربه لكنود
Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord
And indeed, he is to that a witness.
And most surely he is a witness of that.
وإنه على ذلك لشهيد
And lo! he is a witness unto that;
And indeed he is, in love of wealth, intense.
And most surely he is tenacious in the love of wealth.
وإنه لحب الخير لشديد
And lo! in the love of wealth he is violent.
But does he not know that when the contents of the graves are scattered
Does he not then know when what is in the graves is raised,
۞ أفلا يعلم إذا بعثر ما في القبور
Knoweth he not that, when the contents of the graves are poured forth
And that within the breasts is obtained,
And what is in the breasts is made apparent?
وحصل ما في الصدور
And the secrets of the breasts are made known,
Indeed, their Lord with them, that Day, is [fully] Acquainted.
Most surely their Lord that day shall be fully aware of them.
إن ربهم بهم يومئذ لخبير
On that day will their Lord be perfectly concerning them.
