Chapter 100, 11 verses
By the racers, panting,
I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,
WaalAAadiyati dabhan
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والعاديات ضبحا
And the producers of sparks [when] striking
Then those that produce fire striking,
Faalmooriyati qadhan
فالموريات قدحا
And the chargers at dawn,
Then those that make raids at morn,
Faalmugheerati subhan
فالمغيرات صبحا
Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,
Then thereby raise dust,
Faatharna bihi naqAAan
فأثرن به نقعا
Arriving thereby in the center collectively,
Then rush thereby upon an assembly:
Fawasatna bihi jamAAan
فوسطن به جمعا
Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.
Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.
Inna alinsana lirabbihi lakanoodun
إن الإنسان لربه لكنود
And indeed, he is to that a witness.
And most surely he is a witness of that.
Wainnahu AAala thalika lashaheedun
وإنه على ذلك لشهيد
And indeed he is, in love of wealth, intense.
And most surely he is tenacious in the love of wealth.
Wainnahu lihubbi alkhayri lashadeedun
وإنه لحب الخير لشديد
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,
Afala yaAAlamu itha buAAthira ma fee alquboori
۞ أفلا يعلم إذا بعثر ما في القبور
And that within the breasts is obtained,
And what is in the breasts is made apparent?
Wahussila ma fee alssudoori
وحصل ما في الصدور
Indeed, their Lord with them, that Day, is [fully] Acquainted.
Most surely their Lord that day shall be fully aware of them.
Inna rabbahum bihim yawmaithin lakhabeerun
إن ربهم بهم يومئذ لخبير
