سورة العاديات

١ وَالْعَادِيَاتِ ضَبْحًا

Wal-'aadiyaati dabha

By the charging horses, panting,

٢ فَالْمُورِيَاتِ قَدْحًا

Fal-mooriyaati qadha

And striking sparks of fire,

٣ فَالْمُغِيرَاتِ صُبْحًا

Fal-mugheeraati subha

And making raids at dawn,

٤ فَأَثَرْنَ بِهِ نَقْعًا

Fa-atharna bihee naq'a

Stirring up thereby clouds of dust,

٥ فَوَسَطْنَ بِهِ جَمْعًا

Fa-wasatna bihee jam'a

And arriving thereby in the center collectively,

٦ إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لِرَبِّهِ لَكَنُودٌ

Innal-insaana li-rabbihee lakanood

Indeed, mankind is ungrateful to his Lord,

٧ وَإِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ لَشَهِيدٌ

Wa innahoo 'alaa dhaalika la-shaheed

And indeed, he is a witness to that.

٨ وَإِنَّهُ لِحُبِّ الْخَيْرِ لَشَدِيدٌ

Wa innahoo lihubbil-khayri la-shadeed

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

٩ أَفَلَا يَعْلَمُ إِذَا بُعْثِرَ مَا فِي الْقُبُورِ

Afalaa ya'lamu idhaa bu'thira maa fil-quboor

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

١٠ وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِي الصُّدُورِ

Wa hussila maa fis-sudoor

And that within the breasts is obtained,

١١ إِنَّ رَبَّهُم بِهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّخَبِيرٌ

Inna rabbahum bihim yawma-idhil-la-khabeer

Indeed, their Lord is, about them on that Day, fully Aware.
