Surah 100 · 11 ayahs · Meccan Surah Al-Adiyat — The Courser

وَٱلْعَٰدِيَٰتِ ضَبْحًۭا

Wal'aadi yaati dabha

By the (Steeds) that run, with panting (breath),

فَٱلْمُورِيَٰتِ قَدْحًۭا

Fal moori yaati qadha

And strike sparks of fire,

فَٱلْمُغِيرَٰتِ صُبْحًۭا

Fal mugheeraati subha

And push home the charge in the morning,

فَأَثَرْنَ بِهِۦ نَقْعًۭا

Fa atharna bihee naq'a

And raise the dust in clouds the while,

فَوَسَطْنَ بِهِۦ جَمْعًا

Fawa satna bihee jam'a

And penetrate forthwith into the midst (of the foe) en masse;-

إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ لِرَبِّهِۦ لَكَنُودٌۭ

Innal-insana lirabbihee lakanood

Truly man is, to his Lord, ungrateful;

وَإِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ لَشَهِيدٌۭ

Wa innahu 'alaa zaalika la shaheed

And to that (fact) he bears witness (by his deeds);

وَإِنَّهُۥ لِحُبِّ ٱلْخَيْرِ لَشَدِيدٌ

Wa innahu lihubbil khairi la shadeed

And violent is he in his love of wealth.

۞ أَفَلَا يَعْلَمُ إِذَا بُعْثِرَ مَا فِى ٱلْقُبُورِ

Afala ya'lamu iza b'uthira ma filquboor

Does he not know,- when that which is in the graves is scattered abroad

وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِى ٱلصُّدُورِ

Wa hussila maa fis sudoor

And that which is (locked up) in (human) breasts is made manifest-

إِنَّ رَبَّهُم بِهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لَّخَبِيرٌۢ

Inna rabbahum bihim yauma 'izil la khabeer

That their Lord had been Well-acquainted with them, (even to) that Day?
