Al Adiyat

1 By the racers, panting,

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the snorting courses,

2 And the producers of sparks [when] striking

2 Striking sparks of fire

3 And the chargers at dawn,

3 And scouring to the raid at dawn,

4 Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,

4 Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,

5 Arriving thereby in the center collectively,

5 Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),

6 Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.

6 Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord

7 And indeed, he is to that a witness.

7 And lo! he is a witness unto that;

8 And indeed he is, in love of wealth, intense.

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

9 But does he not know that when the contents of the graves are scattered

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

10 And that within the breasts is obtained,

10 And the secrets of the breasts are made known,

11 Indeed, their Lord with them, that Day, is [fully] Acquainted.

11 On that day will their Lord be perfectly informed concerning them.
