Chapter 100, 11 verses
By the (Steeds) that run, with panting (breath),
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والعاديات ضبحا
I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the snorting courses,
And strike sparks of fire,
فالموريات قدحا
Then those that produce fire striking,
Striking sparks of fire
And push home the charge in the morning,
فالمغيرات صبحا
Then those that make raids at morn,
And scouring to the raid at dawn,
And raise the dust in clouds the while,
فأثرن به نقعا
Then thereby raise dust,
Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,
And penetrate forthwith into the midst (of the foe) en masse; -
فوسطن به جمعا
Then rush thereby upon an assembly:
Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),
Truly man is, to his Lord, ungrateful;
إن الإنسان لربه لكنود
Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.
Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord
And to that (fact) he bears witness (by his deeds);
وإنه على ذلك لشهيد
And most surely he is a witness of that.
And lo! he is a witness unto that;
And violent is he in his love of wealth.
وإنه لحب الخير لشديد
And most surely he is tenacious in the love of wealth.
And lo! in the love of wealth he is violent.
Does he not know, - when that which is in the graves is scattered abroad
۞ أفلا يعلم إذا بعثر ما في القبور
Does he not then know when what is in the graves is raised,
Knoweth he not that, when the contents of the graves are poured forth
And that which is (locked up) in (human) breasts is made manifest -
وحصل ما في الصدور
And what is in the breasts is made apparent?
And the secrets of the breasts are made known,
That their Lord had been Well - acquainted with them, (even to) that Day?
إن ربهم بهم يومئذ لخبير
Most surely their Lord that day shall be fully aware of them.
On that day will their Lord be perfectly concerning them.
