Chapter 100, 11 verses
By the racers, panting,
By the (Steeds) that run, with panting (breath),
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
And strike sparks of fire,
فالموريات قدحا
Striking sparks of fire
And the chargers at dawn,
And push home the charge in the morning,
فالمغيرات صبحا
And scouring to the raid at dawn,
Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,
And raise the dust in clouds the while,
فأثرن به نقعا
Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,
Arriving thereby in the center collectively,
And penetrate forthwith into the midst (of the foe) en masse; -
فوسطن به جمعا
Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),
Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.
Truly man is, to his Lord, ungrateful;
إن الإنسان لربه لكنود
Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord
And indeed, he is to that a witness.
And to that (fact) he bears witness (by his deeds);
وإنه على ذلك لشهيد
And lo! he is a witness unto that;
And indeed he is, in love of wealth, intense.
And violent is he in his 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 know, - when that which is in the graves is scattered abroad
۞ 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 that which is (locked up) in (human) breasts is made manifest -
وحصل ما في الصدور
And the secrets of the breasts are made known,
Indeed, their Lord with them, that Day, is [fully] Acquainted.
That their Lord had been Well - acquainted with them, (even to) that Day?
إن ربهم بهم يومئذ لخبير
On that day will their Lord be perfectly concerning them.
