Chapter 100, 11 verses
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,
I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,
And strike sparks of fire,
فالموريات قدحا
Striking sparks of fire
Then those that produce fire striking,
And push home the charge in the morning,
فالمغيرات صبحا
And scouring to the raid at dawn,
Then those that make raids at morn,
And raise the dust in clouds the while,
فأثرن به نقعا
Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,
Then thereby raise dust,
And penetrate forthwith into the midst (of the foe) en masse; -
فوسطن به جمعا
Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),
Then rush thereby upon an assembly:
Truly man is, to his Lord, ungrateful;
إن الإنسان لربه لكنود
Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord
Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.
And to that (fact) he bears witness (by his deeds);
وإنه على ذلك لشهيد
And lo! he is a witness unto that;
And most surely he is a witness of that.
And violent is he in his love of wealth.
وإنه لحب الخير لشديد
And lo! in the love of wealth he is violent.
And most surely he is tenacious in the love of wealth.
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
Does he not then know when what is in the graves is raised,
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,
And what is in the breasts is made apparent?
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.
Most surely their Lord that day shall be fully aware of them.
