وَالْعَادِيَاتِ ضَبْحًا ١

By the snorting chargers,

فَالْمُورِيَاتِ قَدْحًا ٢

by the strikers of fire,

فَالْمُغِيرَاتِ صُبْحًا ٣

by the dawn-raiders

فَأَثَرْنَ بِهِ نَقْعًا ٤

blazing a trail of dust,

فَوَسَطْنَ بِهِ جَمْعًا ٥

cleaving there with a host!

إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لِرَبِّهِ لَكَنُودٌ ٦

Surely Man is ungrateful to his Lord,

وَإِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ لَشَهِيدٌ ٧

and surely he is a witness against that!

وَإِنَّهُ لِحُبِّ الْخَيْرِ لَشَدِيدٌ ٨

Surely he is passionate in his love for good things.

۞ أَفَلَا يَعْلَمُ إِذَا بُعْثِرَ مَا فِي الْقُبُورِ ٩

Knows he not that when that which is in the tombs is over-thrown,

وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِي الصُّدُورِ ١٠

and that which is in the breasts is brought out --

إِنَّ رَبَّهُم بِهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّخَبِيرٌ ١١

surely on that day their Lord shall be aware of them!
