وَالْعَادِيَاتِ ضَبْحًا

OH, the chargers that run panting, (1)

فَالْمُورِيَاتِ قَدْحًا

sparks of fire striking, (2)

فَالْمُغِيرَاتِ صُبْحًا

rushing to assault at morn, (3)

فَأَثَرْنَ بِهِ نَقْعًا

thereby raising clouds of dust, (4)

فَوَسَطْنَ بِهِ جَمْعًا

thereby storming [blindly] into any host! (5)

إِنَّ الْإِنْسَانَ لِرَبِّهِ لَكَنُودٌ

VERILY, towards his Sustainer man is most ungrateful (6)

وَإِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ لَشَهِيدٌ

and to this, behold, he [himself] bears witness indeed: (7)

وَإِنَّهُ لِحُبِّ الْخَيْرِ لَشَدِيدٌ

for, verily, to the love of wealth is he most ardently devoted. (8)

أَفَلَا يَعْلَمُ إِذَا بُعْثِرَ مَا فِي الْقُبُورِ

But does he not know that [on the Last Day,] when all that is in the graves is raised and brought out, (9)

إِنَّ رَبَّهُمْ بِهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَخَبِيرٌ

that on that Day their Sustainer [will show that He] has always been fully aware of them? (11)
