Al-'Adiyat

وَٱلْعَـٰدِيَـٰتِ ضَبْحًا ١

wal-ʿādiyāti ḍabḥan

By the racers, panting,

فَٱلْمُورِيَـٰتِ قَدْحًا ٢

fal-mūriyāti qadḥan

And the producers of sparks [when] striking

فَٱلْمُغِيرَٰتِ صُبْحًا ٣

fal-mughīrāti ṣub'ḥan

And the chargers at dawn,

فَأَثَرْنَ بِهِۦ نَقْعًا ٤

fa-atharna bihi naqʿan

Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,

فَوَسَطْنَ بِهِۦ جَمْعًا ٥

fawasaṭna bihi jamʿan

Arriving thereby in the center collectively,

إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ لِرَبِّهِۦ لَكَنُودٌ ٦

inna l-insāna lirabbihi lakanūdun

Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.

وَإِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ لَشَهِيدٌ ٧

wa-innahu ʿalā dhālika lashahīdun

And indeed, he is to that a witness.

وَإِنَّهُۥ لِحُبِّ ٱلْخَيْرِ لَشَدِيدٌ ٨

wa-innahu liḥubbi l-khayri lashadīdun

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

۞ أَفَلَا يَعْلَمُ إِذَا بُعْثِرَ مَا فِى ٱلْقُبُورِ ٩

afalā yaʿlamu idhā buʿ'thira mā fī l-qubūri

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

وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِى ٱلصُّدُورِ ١٠

waḥuṣṣila mā fī l-ṣudūri

And that within the breasts is obtained,

إِنَّ رَبَّهُم بِهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّخَبِيرٌۢ ١١

inna rabbahum bihim yawma-idhin lakhabīrun

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