وَالْعَادِيَاتِ ضَبْحًا ١
By the (Steeds) that run, with panting (breath),
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
وَالْعَادِيَاتِ ضَبْحًا ١
By the (Steeds) that run, with panting (breath),
فَالْمُورِيَاتِ قَدْحًا ٢
And strike sparks of fire,
فَالْمُغِيرَاتِ صُبْحًا ٣
And push home the charge in the morning,
فَأَثَرْنَ بِهِ نَقْعًا ٤
And raise the dust in clouds the while,
فَوَسَطْنَ بِهِ جَمْعًا ٥
And penetrate forthwith into the midst (of the foe) en masse;-
إِنَّ الْإِنْسَانَ لِرَبِّهِ لَكَنُودٌ ٦
Truly man is, to his Lord, ungrateful;
وَإِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ لَشَهِيدٌ ٧
And to that (fact) he bears witness (by his deeds);
وَإِنَّهُ لِحُبِّ الْخَيْرِ لَشَدِيدٌ ٨
And violent is he in his love of wealth.
أَفَلَا يَعْلَمُ إِذَا بُعْثِرَ مَا فِي الْقُبُورِ ٩
Does he not know,- when that which is in the graves is scattered abroad
وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِي الصُّدُورِ ١٠
And that which is (locked up) in (human) breasts is made manifest-
إِنَّ رَبَّهُمْ بِهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَخَبِيرٌ ١١
That their Lord had been Well-acquainted with them, (even to) that Day?
