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,
By the racers, panting,
And strike sparks of fire,
فالموريات قدحا
Then those that produce fire striking,
And the producers of sparks [when] striking
And push home the charge in the morning,
فالمغيرات صبحا
Then those that make raids at morn,
And the chargers at dawn,
And raise the dust in clouds the while,
فأثرن به نقعا
Then thereby raise dust,
Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,
And penetrate forthwith into the midst (of the foe) en masse; -
فوسطن به جمعا
Then rush thereby upon an assembly:
Arriving thereby in the center collectively,
Truly man is, to his Lord, ungrateful;
إن الإنسان لربه لكنود
Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.
Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.
And to that (fact) he bears witness (by his deeds);
وإنه على ذلك لشهيد
And most surely he is a witness of that.
And indeed, he is to that a witness.
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 indeed he is, in love of wealth, intense.
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,
But does he not know that when the contents of the graves are scattered
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 that within the breasts is obtained,
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.
Indeed, their Lord with them, that Day, is [fully] Acquainted.
