Yusuf Ali

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

Shakir

1 I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,

Yusuf Ali

2 And strike sparks of fire,

Shakir

2 Then those that produce fire striking,

Yusuf Ali

3 And push home the charge in the morning,

Shakir

3 Then those that make raids at morn,

Yusuf Ali

4 And raise the dust in clouds the while,

Shakir

4 Then thereby raise dust,

Yusuf Ali

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

Shakir

5 Then rush thereby upon an assembly:

Yusuf Ali

6 Truly man is, to his Lord, ungrateful;

Shakir

6 Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.

Yusuf Ali

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

Shakir

7 And most surely he is a witness of that.

Yusuf Ali

8 And violent is he in his love of wealth.

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

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 -

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?

Shakir

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