100. Al-'Adiyat

وَٱلْعَـٰدِيَـٰتِ ضَبْحًا

By the racers, panting,1

wal-ʿādiyāti ḍabḥan

فَٱلْمُورِيَـٰتِ قَدْحًا

And the producers of sparks [when] striking1

fal-mūriyāti qadḥan

فَٱلْمُغِيرَٰتِ صُبْحًا

And the chargers at dawn,1

fal-mughīrāti ṣub'ḥan

فَأَثَرْنَ بِهِۦ نَقْعًا

Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,

fa-atharna bihi naqʿan

فَوَسَطْنَ بِهِۦ جَمْعًا

Arriving thereby in the center1 collectively,

fawasaṭna bihi jamʿan

إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ لِرَبِّهِۦ لَكَنُودٌ

Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.

inna l-insāna lirabbihi lakanūdun

وَإِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ لَشَهِيدٌ

And indeed, he is to that a witness.1

wa-innahu ʿalā dhālika lashahīdun

وَإِنَّهُۥ لِحُبِّ ٱلْخَيْرِ لَشَدِيدٌ

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

wa-innahu liḥubbi l-khayri lashadīdun

۞ أَفَلَا يَعْلَمُ إِذَا بُعْثِرَ مَا فِى ٱلْقُبُورِ

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

afalā yaʿlamu idhā buʿ'thira mā fī l-qubūri

وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِى ٱلصُّدُورِ

And that within the breasts is obtained,1

waḥuṣṣila mā fī l-ṣudūri

إِنَّ رَبَّهُم بِهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّخَبِيرٌۢ

Indeed, their Lord with them, that Day, is [fully] Aware.1

inna rabbahum bihim yawma-idhin lakhabīrun
