Al-'Adiyat العاديات

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالْعَادِيَاتِ ضَبْحًا

bismillah ar-rahman ar-rahim wal-'adiyat dabha

By the racers, panting,

فَالْمُورِيَاتِ قَدْحًا

fal-muriyat qadha

And the producers of sparks [when] striking

فَالْمُغِيرَاتِ صُبْحًا

fal-mughirat subh

And the chargers at dawn,

فَأَثَرْنَ بِهِ نَقْعًا

fa-atharna bihi naq'a

Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,

فَوَسَطْنَ بِهِ جَمْعًا

fa-wasatna bihi jam'an

Arriving thereby in the center collectively,

إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لِرَبِّهِ لَكَنُودٌ

inna al-insan li-rabbhi la-kanud

Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.

وَإِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ لَشَهِيدٌ

wa-innahu 'ala dhalik la-shahid

And indeed, he is to that a witness.

وَإِنَّهُ لِحُبِّ الْخَيْرِ لَشَدِيدٌ

wa-innahu li-hubb al-khayr la-shadid

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

أَفَلَا يَعْلَمُ إِذَا بُعْثِرَ مَا فِي الْقُبُورِ

a-fala ya'lamu idha bu'thira ma fi al-qubur

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

وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِي الصُّدُورِ

wa-hussila ma fi as-sudur

And that within the breasts is obtained,

إِنَّ رَبَّهُم بِهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّخَبِيرٌ

inna rabbahum bihim yawma'idhin la-khabir

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