Al-'Adiyat · The Courser

وَٱلْعَـٰدِيَـٰتِ ضَبْحًۭا ﴿١﴾

By the racers, panting,

wal-ʿādiyāti ḍabḥan

فَٱلْمُورِيَـٰتِ قَدْحًۭا ﴿٢﴾

And the producers of sparks [when] striking

fal-mūriyāti qadḥan

فَٱلْمُغِيرَٰتِ صُبْحًۭا ﴿٣﴾

And the chargers at dawn,

fal-mughīrāti ṣub'ḥan

فَأَثَرْنَ بِهِۦ نَقْعًۭا ﴿٤﴾

Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,

fa-atharna bihi naqʿan

فَوَسَطْنَ بِهِۦ جَمْعًا ﴿٥﴾

Arriving thereby in the center collectively,

fawasaṭna bihi jamʿan

إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ لِرَبِّهِۦ لَكَنُودٌۭ ﴿٦﴾

Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.

inna l-insāna lirabbihi lakanūdun

وَإِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ لَشَهِيدٌۭ ﴿٧﴾

And indeed, he is to that a witness.

wa-innahu ʿalā dhālika lashahīdun

وَإِنَّهُۥ لِحُبِّ ٱلْخَيْرِ لَشَدِيدٌ ﴿٨﴾

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

wa-innahu liḥubbi l-khayri lashadīdun

۞ أَفَلَا يَعْلَمُ إِذَا بُعْثِرَ مَا فِى ٱلْقُبُورِ ﴿٩﴾

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

afalā yaʿlamu idhā buʿ'thira mā fī l-qubūri

وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِى ٱلصُّدُورِ ﴿١٠﴾

And that within the breasts is obtained,

waḥuṣṣila mā fī l-ṣudūri

إِنَّ رَبَّهُم بِهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لَّخَبِيرٌۢ ﴿١١﴾

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

inna rabbahum bihim yawma-idhin lakhabīrun
