بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
-
وَٱلْعَٰدِيَٰتِ ضَبْحًا
By the snorting courses,
-
فَٱلْمُورِيَٰتِ قَدْحًا
Striking sparks of fire
-
فَٱلْمُغِيرَٰتِ صُبْحًا
And scouring to the raid at dawn,
-
فَأَثَرْنَ بِهِۦ نَقْعًا
Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,
-
فَوَسَطْنَ بِهِۦ جَمْعًا
Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),

إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ لِرَبِّهِۦ لَكَنُودٌ
Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord
-
وَإِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ لَشَهِيدٌ
And lo! he is a witness unto that;
-
وَإِنَّهُۥ لِحُبِّ ٱلْخَيْرِ لَشَدِيدٌ
And lo! in the love of wealth he is violent.
-
أَفَلَا يَعْلَمُ إِذَا بُعْثِرَ مَا فِى ٱلْقُبُورِ
Knoweth he not that, when the contents of the graves are poured forth
-
وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِى ٱلصُّدُورِ
And the secrets of the breasts are made known,

إِنَّ رَبَّهُم بِهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّخَبِيرٌۢ
On that day will their Lord be perfectly informed concerning them.
