Al-'Adiyat

وَٱلْعَـٰدِيَـٰتِ ضَبْحًا١

WalAAadiyati dabha

By the racers, panting,

(I swear) by those (horses) that run snorting,

فَٱلْمُورِيَـٰتِ قَدْحًا٢

Falmooriyati qadha

And the producers of sparks [when] striking

then those that create sparks by striking (their hoofs) on the stones,

فَٱلْمُغِيرَٰتِ صُبْحًا٣

Falmugheerati subha

And the chargers at dawn,

then those that invade at morning,

فَأَثَرْنَ بِهِۦ نَقْعًا٤

Faatharna bihi naqAAa

Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,

then raise, at the same time, a trail of dust,

فَوَسَطْنَ بِهِۦ جَمْعًا٥

Fawasatna bihi jamAAa

Arriving thereby in the center collectively,

then enter, at the same time, into the centre of the (opposing) host,

إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ لِرَبِّهِۦ لَكَنُودٌ٦

Inna al-insana lirabbihi lakanood

Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.

man is, indeed, very ungrateful to his Lord,

وَإِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ لَشَهِيدٌ٧

Wa-innahu AAala thalikalashaheed

And indeed, he is to that a witness.

and he himself is a witness to that fact,

وَإِنَّهُۥ لِحُبِّ ٱلْخَيْرِ لَشَدِيدٌ٨

Wa-innahu lihubbi alkhayri lashadeed

And indeed he is, in love of wealth, intense.

and in his love for wealth, he is very intense.

۞ أَفَلَا يَعْلَمُ إِذَا بُعْثِرَ مَا فِى ٱلْقُبُورِ٩

Afala yaAAlamu itha buAAthira mafee alquboor

But does he not know that when the contents of the graves are scattered

Does he not then know (what will happen) when all that is contained in the graves will be overturned,

وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِى ٱلصُّدُورِ١٠

Wahussila ma fee assudoor

And that within the breasts is obtained,

and all that is contained in the hearts will be exposed.

إِنَّ رَبَّهُم بِهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّخَبِيرٌۢ١١

Inna rabbahum bihim yawma-ithinlakhabeer

Indeed, their Lord with them, that Day, is [fully] Aware.

Surely your Lord, that day, is fully aware of them.
