العاديات

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

1

وَٱلْعَـٰدِيَـٰتِ ضَبْحًا ١

By the snorting courses,

2

فَٱلْمُورِيَـٰتِ قَدْحًا ٢

Striking sparks of fire

3

فَٱلْمُغِيرَٲتِ صُبْحًا ٣

And scouring to the raid at dawn,

4

فَأَثَرْنَ بِهِۦ نَقْعًا ٤

Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,

5

فَوَسَطْنَ بِهِۦ جَمْعًا ٥

Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),

6

إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ لِرَبِّهِۦ لَكَنُودٌ ٦

Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord

7

وَإِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ ذَٲلِكَ لَشَهِيدٌ ٧

And lo! he is a witness unto that;

8

وَإِنَّهُۥ لِحُبِّ ٱلْخَيْرِ لَشَدِيدٌ ٨

And lo! in the love of wealth he is violent.

9

۞ أَفَلَا يَعْلَمُ إِذَا بُعْثِرَ مَا فِى ٱلْقُبُورِ ٩

Knoweth he not that, when the contents of the graves are poured forth

10

وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِى ٱلصُّدُورِ ١٠

And the secrets of the breasts are made known,

11

إِنَّ رَبَّهُم بِهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّخَبِيرُۢ ١١

On that day will their Lord be perfectly informed concerning them.
