وَالْعَادِيَاتِ ضَبْحًا (1)

By the snorting chargers,

فَالْمُورِيَاتِ قَدْحًا (2)

by the strikers of sparks [with their hoofs],

فَالْمُغِيرَاتِ صُبْحًا (3)

by the raiders at dawn,

فَأَثَرْنَ بِهِ نَقْعًا (4)

raising therein a trail of dust,

فَوَسَطْنَ بِهِ جَمْعًا (5)

and cleaving therein a host!

إِنَّ الْإِنْسَانَ لِرَبِّهِ لَكَنُودٌ (6)

Indeed man is ungrateful to his Lord,

وَإِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ لَشَهِيدٌ (7)

and indeed he is [himself] witness to that!

وَإِنَّهُ لِحُبِّ الْخَيْرِ لَشَدِيدٌ (8)

And indeed he is an avid lover of wealth.

۞ أَفَلَا يَعْلَمُ إِذَا بُعْثِرَ مَا فِي الْقُبُورِ (9)

Does he not know, when what is [buried] in the graves is turned over,

وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِي الصُّدُورِ (10)

and what is [concealed] in the breasts is divulged,

إِنَّ رَبَّهُمْ بِهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَخَبِيرٌ (11)

on that day their Lord will be well informed about them [and their deeds]?
