By the (Steeds) that run, with panting (breath),
1وَالْعَادِيَاتِ ضَبْحًا
And strike sparks of fire,
2فَالْمُورِيَاتِ قَدْحًا
And push home the charge in the morning,
3فَالْمُغِيرَاتِ صُبْحًا
And raise the dust in clouds the while,
4فَأَثَرْنَ بِهِ نَقْعًا
And penetrate forthwith into the midst (of the foe) en masse;-
5فَوَسَطْنَ بِهِ جَمْعًا
Truly man is, to his Lord, ungrateful;
6إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لِرَبِّهِ لَكَنُودٌ
And to that (fact) he bears witness (by his deeds);
7وَإِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ لَشَهِيدٌ
And violent is he in his love of wealth.
8وَإِنَّهُ لِحُبِّ الْخَيْرِ لَشَدِيدٌ
Does he not know,- when that which is in the graves is scattered abroad
9أَفَلَا يَعْلَمُ إِذَا بُعْثِرَ مَا فِي الْقُبُورِ
And that which is (locked up) in (human) breasts is made manifest-
10وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِي الصُّدُورِ
That their Lord had been Well-acquainted with them, (even to) that Day?
11إِنَّ رَبَّهُم بِهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّخَبِيرٌ
