وَٱلْعَـٰدِيَـٰتِ ضَبْحًا١

By the snorting courses,

WalAAadiyati dabha

فَٱلْمُورِيَـٰتِ قَدْحًا٢

Striking sparks of fire

Falmooriyati qadha

فَٱلْمُغِيرَٰتِ صُبْحًا٣

And scouring to the raid at dawn,

Falmugheerati subha

فَأَثَرْنَ بِهِۦ نَقْعًا٤

Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,

Faatharna bihi naqAAa

فَوَسَطْنَ بِهِۦ جَمْعًا٥

Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),

Fawasatna bihi jamAAa

إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ لِرَبِّهِۦ لَكَنُودٌ٦

Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord

Inna al-insana lirabbihi lakanood

وَإِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ لَشَهِيدٌ٧

And lo! he is a witness unto that;

Wa-innahu AAala thalikalashaheed

وَإِنَّهُۥ لِحُبِّ ٱلْخَيْرِ لَشَدِيدٌ٨

And lo! in the love of wealth he is violent.

Wa-innahu lihubbi alkhayri lashadeed

۞ أَفَلَا يَعْلَمُ إِذَا بُعْثِرَ مَا فِى ٱلْقُبُورِ٩

Knoweth he not that, when the contents of the graves are poured forth

Afala yaAAlamu itha buAAthira mafee alquboor

وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِى ٱلصُّدُورِ١٠

And the secrets of the breasts are made known,

Wahussila ma fee assudoor

إِنَّ رَبَّهُم بِهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّخَبِيرٌۢ١١

On that day will their Lord be perfectly informed concerning them.

Inna rabbahum bihim yawma-ithinlakhabeer
