Chapter 100, 11 verses
By the racers, panting,
WaalAAadiyati dabhan
By the (Steeds) that run, with panting (breath),
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the snorting courses,
And the producers of sparks [when] striking
Faalmooriyati qadhan
And strike sparks of fire,
Striking sparks of fire
And the chargers at dawn,
Faalmugheerati subhan
And push home the charge in the morning,
And scouring to the raid at dawn,
Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,
Faatharna bihi naqAAan
And raise the dust in clouds the while,
Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,
Arriving thereby in the center collectively,
Fawasatna bihi jamAAan
And penetrate forthwith into the midst (of the foe) en masse; -
Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),
Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.
Inna alinsana lirabbihi lakanoodun
Truly man is, to his Lord, ungrateful;
Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord
And indeed, he is to that a witness.
Wainnahu AAala thalika lashaheedun
And to that (fact) he bears witness (by his deeds);
And lo! he is a witness unto that;
And indeed he is, in love of wealth, intense.
Wainnahu lihubbi alkhayri lashadeedun
And violent is he in his love of wealth.
And lo! in the love of wealth he is violent.
But does he not know that when the contents of the graves are scattered
Afala yaAAlamu itha buAAthira ma fee alquboori
Does he not know, - when that which is in the graves is scattered abroad
Knoweth he not that, when the contents of the graves are poured forth
And that within the breasts is obtained,
Wahussila ma fee alssudoori
And that which is (locked up) in (human) breasts is made manifest -
And the secrets of the breasts are made known,
Indeed, their Lord with them, that Day, is [fully] Acquainted.
Inna rabbahum bihim yawmaithin lakhabeerun
That their Lord had been Well - acquainted with them, (even to) that Day?
On that day will their Lord be perfectly concerning them.
