1. 1 وَالْعَادِيَاتِ ضَبْحًا I call to witness the panting and snorting chargers (of the warriors).
2. 2 فَالْمُورِيَاتِ قَدْحًا And those that strike sparks of fire dashing (their hoofs) against the stones,
3. 3 فَالْمُغِيرَاتِ صُبْحًا And those that make raids at dawn,
4. 4 فَأَثَرْنَ بِهِ نَقْعًا And raising up clouds of dust therewith.
5. 5 فَوَسَطْنَ بِهِ جَمْعًا They penetrate thus right into the middle of the (enemy) ranks,
6. 6 إِنَّ الْإِنْسَانَ لِرَبِّهِ لَكَنُودٌ That ( good for nothing) human being is indeed very ungrateful to his Lord.
7. 7 وَإِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ لَشَهِيدٌ And he himself bears witness to all this (by his conduct).
8. 8 وَإِنَّهُ لِحُبِّ الْخَيْرِ لَشَدِيدٌ And he is, truly speaking, the extreme limit in (his) love for wealth.
9. 9 أَفَلَا يَعْلَمُ إِذَا بُعْثِرَ مَا فِي الْقُبُورِ Does not, then, such a one know (the time) when all those in the graves will be raised up (in the Hereafter);
10. 10 وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِي الصُّدُورِ And (the time when) what is (hidden) in the bosoms (of people) shall be made known.
11. 11 إِنَّ رَبَّهُمْ بِهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَخَبِيرٌ Verily, their Lord is, of course, fully Aware of (all regarding) them that day.
