Chapter 100, 11 verses
By the (Steeds) that run, with panting (breath),
WaalAAadiyati dabhan
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the snorting courses,
I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,
And strike sparks of fire,
Faalmooriyati qadhan
Striking sparks of fire
Then those that produce fire striking,
And push home the charge in the morning,
Faalmugheerati subhan
And scouring to the raid at dawn,
Then those that make raids at morn,
And raise the dust in clouds the while,
Faatharna bihi naqAAan
Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,
Then thereby raise dust,
And penetrate forthwith into the midst (of the foe) en masse; -
Fawasatna bihi jamAAan
Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),
Then rush thereby upon an assembly:
Truly man is, to his Lord, ungrateful;
Inna alinsana lirabbihi lakanoodun
Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord
Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.
And to that (fact) he bears witness (by his deeds);
Wainnahu AAala thalika lashaheedun
And lo! he is a witness unto that;
And most surely he is a witness of that.
And violent is he in his love of wealth.
Wainnahu lihubbi alkhayri lashadeedun
And lo! in the love of wealth he is violent.
And most surely he is tenacious in the love of wealth.
Does he not know, - when that which is in the graves is scattered abroad
Afala yaAAlamu itha buAAthira ma fee alquboori
Knoweth he not that, when the contents of the graves are poured forth
Does he not then know when what is in the graves is raised,
And that which is (locked up) in (human) breasts is made manifest -
Wahussila ma fee alssudoori
And the secrets of the breasts are made known,
And what is in the breasts is made apparent?
That their Lord had been Well - acquainted with them, (even to) that Day?
Inna rabbahum bihim yawmaithin lakhabeerun
On that day will their Lord be perfectly concerning them.
Most surely their Lord that day shall be fully aware of them.
