سورة العاديات

The Chargers11 ayat Makkiyah

Translated by Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

1

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالْعَادِيَاتِ ضَبْحًا

By the snorting courses,

2

فَالْمُورِيَاتِ قَدْحًا

Striking sparks of fire

3

فَالْمُغِيرَاتِ صُبْحًا

And scouring to the raid at dawn,

4

فَأَثَرْنَ بِهِ نَقْعًا

Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,

5

فَوَسَطْنَ بِهِ جَمْعًا

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

6

إِنَّ الْإِنْسَانَ لِرَبِّهِ لَكَنُودٌ

Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord

7

وَإِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ لَشَهِيدٌ

And lo! he is a witness unto that;

8

وَإِنَّهُ لِحُبِّ الْخَيْرِ لَشَدِيدٌ

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

9

۞ أَفَلَا يَعْلَمُ إِذَا بُعْثِرَ مَا فِي الْقُبُورِ

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

10

وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِي الصُّدُورِ

And the secrets of the breasts are made known,

11

إِنَّ رَبَّهُمْ بِهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَخَبِيرٌ

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