وَالْعَادِيَاتِ ضَبْحًا
By the snorting chargers,
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.
وَالْعَادِيَاتِ ضَبْحًا
By the snorting chargers,
فَالْمُورِيَاتِ قَدْحًا
by the strikers of sparks [with their hoofs],
فَالْمُغِيرَاتِ صُبْحًا
by the raiders at dawn,
فَأَثَرْنَ بِهِ نَقْعًا
raising therein a trail of dust,
فَوَسَطْنَ بِهِ جَمْعًا
and cleaving therein a host!
إِنَّ الْإِنْسَانَ لِرَبِّهِ لَكَنُودٌ
Indeed man is ungrateful to his Lord,
وَإِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ لَشَهِيدٌ
and indeed he is [himself] witness to that!
وَإِنَّهُ لِحُبِّ الْخَيْرِ لَشَدِيدٌ
And indeed he is an avid lover of wealth.
أَفَلَا يَعْلَمُ إِذَا بُعْثِرَ مَا فِي الْقُبُورِ
Does he not know, when what is [buried] in the graves is turned over,
وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِي الصُّدُورِ
and what is [concealed] in the breasts is divulged,
إِنَّ رَبَّهُمْ بِهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَخَبِيرٌ
on that day their Lord will be well informed about them [and their deeds]?
