Surah Al-'Adiyat — The Chargers

وَالْعٰدِيٰتِ ضَبْحًاۙ

Wal-‘ādiyāti ḍabḥā(n).

By the racers, panting,

فَالْمُوْرِيٰتِ قَدْحًاۙ

Fal-mūriyāti qadḥā(n).

And the producers of sparks [when] striking

فَالْمُغِيْرٰتِ صُبْحًاۙ

Fal-mugīrāti ṣubḥā(n).

And the chargers at dawn,

فَاَثَرْنَ بِهٖ نَقْعًاۙ

Fa'aṡarna bihī naq‘ā(n).

Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,

فَوَسَطْنَ بِهٖ جَمْعًاۙ

Fawasaṭna bihī jam‘ā(n).

Arriving thereby in the center collectively,

اِنَّ الْاِنْسَانَ لِرَبِّهٖ لَكَنُوْدٌ ۚ

Innal-insāna lirabbihī lakanūd(un).

Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.

وَاِنَّهٗ عَلٰى ذٰلِكَ لَشَهِيْدٌۚ

Wa innahū ‘alā żālika lasyahīd(un).

And indeed, he is to that a witness.

وَاِنَّهٗ لِحُبِّ الْخَيْرِ لَشَدِيْدٌ ۗ

Wa innahū liḥubbil-khairi lasyadīd(un).

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

۞ اَفَلَا يَعْلَمُ اِذَا بُعْثِرَ مَا فِى الْقُبُوْرِۙ

Afalā ya‘lamu iżā bu‘ṡira mā fil-qubūr(i).

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

وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِى الصُّدُوْرِۙ

Wa ḥuṣṣila mā fiṣ-ṣudūr(i).

And that within the breasts is obtained,

اِنَّ رَبَّهُمْ بِهِمْ يَوْمَىِٕذٍ لَّخَبِيْرٌ ࣖ

Inna rabbahum bihim yauma'iżil lakhabīr(un).

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