Translation: Surah Al-'Adiyat (The Courser) سُورَة العاديات

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

وَالْعَادِيَاتِ ضَبْحًا ١

By the (Steeds) that run, with panting (breath), (1)

فَالْمُورِيَاتِ قَدْحًا ٢

And strike sparks of fire, (2)

فَالْمُغِيرَاتِ صُبْحًا ٣

And push home the charge in the morning, (3)

فَأَثَرْنَ بِهِ نَقْعًا ٤

And raise the dust in clouds the while, (4)

فَوَسَطْنَ بِهِ جَمْعًا ٥

And penetrate forthwith into the midst (of the foe) en masse;- (5)

إِنَّ الْإِنْسَانَ لِرَبِّهِ لَكَنُودٌ ٦

Truly man is, to his Lord, ungrateful; (6)

وَإِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ لَشَهِيدٌ ٧

And to that (fact) he bears witness (by his deeds); (7)

وَإِنَّهُ لِحُبِّ الْخَيْرِ لَشَدِيدٌ ٨

And violent is he in his love of wealth. (8)

أَفَلَا يَعْلَمُ إِذَا بُعْثِرَ مَا فِي الْقُبُورِ ٩

Does he not know,- when that which is in the graves is scattered abroad (9)

وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِي الصُّدُورِ ١٠

And that which is (locked up) in (human) breasts is made manifest- (10)

إِنَّ رَبَّهُمْ بِهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَخَبِيرٌ ١١

That their Lord had been Well-acquainted with them, (even to) that Day? (11)
