Al Adiyat

Yusuf Ali

1 By the (Steeds) that run, with panting (breath),

Pickthall

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the snorting courses,

Shakir

1 I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,

Yusuf Ali

2 And strike sparks of fire,

Pickthall

2 Striking sparks of fire

Shakir

2 Then those that produce fire striking,

Yusuf Ali

3 And push home the charge in the morning,

Pickthall

3 And scouring to the raid at dawn,

Shakir

3 Then those that make raids at morn,

Yusuf Ali

4 And raise the dust in clouds the while,

Pickthall

4 Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,

Shakir

4 Then thereby raise dust,

Yusuf Ali

5 And penetrate forthwith into the midst (of the foe) en masse; -

Pickthall

5 Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),

Shakir

5 Then rush thereby upon an assembly:

Yusuf Ali

6 Truly man is, to his Lord, ungrateful;

Pickthall

6 Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord

Shakir

6 Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.

Yusuf Ali

7 And to that (fact) he bears witness (by his deeds);

Pickthall

7 And lo! he is a witness unto that;

Shakir

7 And most surely he is a witness of that.

Yusuf Ali

8 And violent is he in his love of wealth.

Pickthall

8 And lo! in the love of wealth he is violent.

Shakir

8 And most surely he is tenacious in the love of wealth.

Yusuf Ali

9 Does he not know, - when that which is in the graves is scattered abroad

Pickthall

9 Knoweth he not that, when the contents of the graves are poured forth

Shakir

9 Does he not then know when what is in the graves is raised,

Yusuf Ali

10 And that which is (locked up) in (human) breasts is made manifest -

Pickthall

10 And the secrets of the breasts are made known,

Shakir

10 And what is in the breasts is made apparent?

Yusuf Ali

11 That their Lord had been Well - acquainted with them, (even to) that Day?

Pickthall

11 On that day will their Lord be perfectly informed concerning them.

Shakir

11 Most surely their Lord that day shall be fully aware of them.
