بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
وَٱلْعَـٰدِيَـٰتِ ضَبْحًا ١
’ By the galloping, panting horses
فَٱلْمُورِيَـٰتِ قَدْحًا ٢
striking sparks of fire ˹with their hoofs˺
فَٱلْمُغِيرَٲتِ صُبْحًا ٣
launching raids at dawn
فَأَثَرْنَ بِهِۦ نَقْعًا ٤
stirring up ˹clouds of˺ dust
فَوَسَطْنَ بِهِۦ جَمْعًا ٥
and penetrating into the heart of enemy lines
إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ لِرَبِّهِۦ لَكَنُودٌ ٦
Surely humankind is ungrateful to their Lord—
وَإِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ ذَٲلِكَ لَشَهِيدٌ ٧
and they certainly attest to this—
وَإِنَّهُۥ لِحُبِّ ٱلْخَيْرِ لَشَدِيدٌ ٨
and they are truly extreme in their love of ˹worldly˺ gains
۞ أَفَلَا يَعْلَمُ إِذَا بُعْثِرَ مَا فِى ٱلْقُبُورِ ٩
Do they not know that when the contents of the graves will be spilled out
وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِى ٱلصُّدُورِ ١٠
and the secrets of the hearts will be laid bare—
إِنَّ رَبَّهُم بِهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّخَبِيرُۢ ١١
surely their Lord is All-Aware of them on that Day
