Chapter 100, 11 verses
By the (Steeds) that run, with panting (breath),
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the snorting courses,
WaalAAadiyati dabhan
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والعاديات ضبحا
And strike sparks of fire,
Striking sparks of fire
Faalmooriyati qadhan
فالموريات قدحا
And push home the charge in the morning,
And scouring to the raid at dawn,
Faalmugheerati subhan
فالمغيرات صبحا
And raise the dust in clouds the while,
Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,
Faatharna bihi naqAAan
فأثرن به نقعا
And penetrate forthwith into the midst (of the foe) en masse; -
Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),
Fawasatna bihi jamAAan
فوسطن به جمعا
Truly man is, to his Lord, ungrateful;
Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord
Inna alinsana lirabbihi lakanoodun
إن الإنسان لربه لكنود
And to that (fact) he bears witness (by his deeds);
And lo! he is a witness unto that;
Wainnahu AAala thalika lashaheedun
وإنه على ذلك لشهيد
And violent is he in his love of wealth.
And lo! in the love of wealth he is violent.
Wainnahu lihubbi alkhayri lashadeedun
وإنه لحب الخير لشديد
Does he not know, - when that which is in the graves is scattered abroad
Knoweth he not that, when the contents of the graves are poured forth
Afala yaAAlamu itha buAAthira ma fee alquboori
۞ أفلا يعلم إذا بعثر ما في القبور
And that which is (locked up) in (human) breasts is made manifest -
And the secrets of the breasts are made known,
Wahussila ma fee alssudoori
وحصل ما في الصدور
That their Lord had been Well - acquainted with them, (even to) that Day?
On that day will their Lord be perfectly concerning them.
Inna rabbahum bihim yawmaithin lakhabeerun
إن ربهم بهم يومئذ لخبير
