Al-'Adiyat

By the racers, panting,

wal-ʿādiyāti ḍabḥan

And the producers of sparks [when] striking

fal-mūriyāti qadḥan

And the chargers at dawn,

fal-mughīrāti ṣub'ḥan

Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,

fa-atharna bihi naqʿan

Arriving thereby in the center collectively,

fawasaṭna bihi jamʿan

Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.

inna l-insāna lirabbihi lakanūdun

And indeed, he is to that a witness.

wa-innahu ʿalā dhālika lashahīdun

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

wa-innahu liḥubbi l-khayri lashadīdun

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

afalā yaʿlamu idhā buʿ'thira mā fī l-qubūri

And that within the breasts is obtained,

waḥuṣṣila mā fī l-ṣudūri

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

inna rabbahum bihim yawma-idhin lakhabīrun
