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,
WaalAAadiyati dabhan
And strike sparks of fire,
فالموريات قدحا
Striking sparks of fire
Faalmooriyati qadhan
And push home the charge in the morning,
فالمغيرات صبحا
And scouring to the raid at dawn,
Faalmugheerati subhan
And raise the dust in clouds the while,
فأثرن به نقعا
Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,
Faatharna bihi naqAAan
And penetrate forthwith into the midst (of the foe) en masse; -
فوسطن به جمعا
Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),
Fawasatna bihi jamAAan
Truly man is, to his Lord, ungrateful;
إن الإنسان لربه لكنود
Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord
Inna alinsana lirabbihi lakanoodun
And to that (fact) he bears witness (by his deeds);
وإنه على ذلك لشهيد
And lo! he is a witness unto that;
Wainnahu AAala thalika lashaheedun
And violent is he in his love of wealth.
وإنه لحب الخير لشديد
And lo! in the love of wealth he is violent.
Wainnahu lihubbi alkhayri lashadeedun
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
Afala yaAAlamu itha buAAthira ma fee alquboori
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,
Wahussila ma fee alssudoori
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.
Inna rabbahum bihim yawmaithin lakhabeerun
