1

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلْعَٰدِيَٰتِ ضَبْحًۭا

By (the horses) that charge snorting,

2

فَٱلْمُورِيَٰتِ قَدْحًۭا

then raise sparks of fire (by their hoofs),

3

فَٱلْمُغِيرَٰتِ صُبْحًۭا

then raid by the dawn,

4

فَأَثَرْنَ بِهِۦ نَقْعًۭا

and blaze a trail of dust,

5

فَوَسَطْنَ بِهِۦ جَمْعًا

and penetrate deep into a host.

6

إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ لِرَبِّهِۦ لَكَنُودٌۭ

Verily man is most ungrateful to his Lord;

7

وَإِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ لَشَهِيدٌۭ

and he himself is a witness to that,

8

وَإِنَّهُۥ لِحُبِّ ٱلْخَيْرِ لَشَدِيدٌ

and surely he loves riches with a passionate loving.

9

۞ أَفَلَا يَعْلَمُ إِذَا بُعْثِرَ مَا فِى ٱلْقُبُورِ

Is he not aware that when whatever lies (buried) in the graves is overthrown;

10

وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِى ٱلصُّدُورِ

and the secrets of the hearts are laid bare (and examined)?

11

إِنَّ رَبَّهُم بِهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لَّخَبِيرٌۢ

Surely on that Day will their Lord be fully informed about them.
