Surah Al-'Adiyat

وَٱلْعَـٰدِيَـٰتِ ضَبْحًا

WalAAadiyati dabha

By the racers, panting,1

فَٱلْمُورِيَـٰتِ قَدْحًا

Falmooriyati qadha

And the producers of sparks [when] striking1

فَٱلْمُغِيرَٰتِ صُبْحًا

Falmugheerati subha

And the chargers at dawn,1

فَأَثَرْنَ بِهِۦ نَقْعًا

Faatharna bihi naqAAa

Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,

فَوَسَطْنَ بِهِۦ جَمْعًا

Fawasatna bihi jamAAa

Arriving thereby in the center1 collectively,

إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ لِرَبِّهِۦ لَكَنُودٌ

Inna al-insana lirabbihi lakanood

Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.

وَإِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ لَشَهِيدٌ

Wa-innahu AAala thalikalashaheed

And indeed, he is to that a witness.1

وَإِنَّهُۥ لِحُبِّ ٱلْخَيْرِ لَشَدِيدٌ

Wa-innahu lihubbi alkhayri lashadeed

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

۞ أَفَلَا يَعْلَمُ إِذَا بُعْثِرَ مَا فِى ٱلْقُبُورِ

Afala yaAAlamu itha buAAthira mafee alquboor

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

وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِى ٱلصُّدُورِ

Wahussila ma fee assudoor

And that within the breasts is obtained,1

إِنَّ رَبَّهُم بِهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّخَبِيرٌۢ

Inna rabbahum bihim yawma-ithinlakhabeer

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