بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالْعَادِيَاتِ ضَبْحًا
(I swear) by the snorting chargers (of the warriors), whose hoofs strike against the rocks
فَالْمُورِيَاتِ قَدْحًا
and produce sparks
فَالْمُغِيرَاتِ صُبْحًا
while running during a raid at dawn,
فَأَثَرْنَ بِهِ نَقْعًا
and leave behind a cloud of dust
فَوَسَطْنَ بِهِ جَمْعًا
which engulfs the enemy.
إِنَّ الْإِنْسَانَ لِرَبِّهِ لَكَنُودٌ
The human being is certainly ungrateful to his Lord.
وَإِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ لَشَهِيدٌ
He himself knows this very well.
وَإِنَّهُ لِحُبِّ الْخَيْرِ لَشَدِيدٌ
He certainly has a strong love for wealth and riches.
۞ أَفَلَا يَعْلَمُ إِذَا بُعْثِرَ مَا فِي الْقُبُورِ
Does he not know that on the day when those in the graves are resurrected
وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِي الصُّدُورِ
and all that is in the hearts is made public,
إِنَّ رَبَّهُمْ بِهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَخَبِيرٌ
their Lord will examine his deeds?
