Wal'aadi yaati dabha
Oh, the chargers that run panting,
Fal moori yaati qadha
sparks of fire striking,
Fal mugheeraati subha
rushing to assault at morn,
Fa atharna bihee naq'a
thereby raising clouds of dust,
Fawa satna bihee jam'a
thereby storming [blindly] into any host!
Innal-insana lirabbihee lakanood
VERILY, towards his Sustainer man is most ungrateful
Wa innahu 'alaa zaalika la shaheed
and to this, behold, he [himself] bears witness indeed:
Wa innahu lihubbil khairi la shadeed
for, verily, to the love of wealth is he most ardently devoted.
Afala ya'lamu iza b'uthira ma filquboor
But does he not know that [on the Last Day,] when all that is in the graves is raised and brought out,
Wa hussila maa fis sudoor
and all that is [hidden] in men's hearts is bared
Inna rabbahum bihim yauma 'izil la khabeer
that on that Day their Sustainer [will show that He] has always been fully aware of them?
