بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

وَٱلْعَٰدِيَٰتِ ضَبْحًۭا ﴿١﴾

Wal'aadi yaati dabha

1 By the racers, panting,

فَٱلْمُورِيَٰتِ قَدْحًۭا ﴿٢﴾

Fal moori yaati qadha

2 And the producers of sparks [when] striking

فَٱلْمُغِيرَٰتِ صُبْحًۭا ﴿٣﴾

Fal mugheeraati subha

3 And the chargers at dawn,

فَأَثَرْنَ بِهِۦ نَقْعًۭا ﴿٤﴾

Fa atharna bihee naq'a

4 Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,

فَوَسَطْنَ بِهِۦ جَمْعًا ﴿٥﴾

Fawa satna bihee jam'a

5 Arriving thereby in the center collectively,

إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ لِرَبِّهِۦ لَكَنُودٌۭ ﴿٦﴾

Innal-insana lirabbihee lakanood

6 Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.

وَإِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ لَشَهِيدٌۭ ﴿٧﴾

Wa innahu 'alaa zaalika la shaheed

7 And indeed, he is to that a witness.

وَإِنَّهُۥ لِحُبِّ ٱلْخَيْرِ لَشَدِيدٌ ﴿٨﴾

Wa innahu lihubbil khairi la shadeed

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

۞ أَفَلَا يَعْلَمُ إِذَا بُعْثِرَ مَا فِى ٱلْقُبُورِ ﴿٩﴾

Afala ya'lamu iza b'uthira ma filquboor

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

وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِى ٱلصُّدُورِ ﴿١٠﴾

Wa hussila maa fis sudoor

10 And that within the breasts is obtained,

إِنَّ رَبَّهُم بِهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لَّخَبِيرٌۢ ﴿١١﴾

Inna rabbahum bihim yauma 'izil la khabeer

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