The Courser, The Chargers, The Assulters — Aisha Bewley Translation – Parallel Quran

1 The Assaulters

وَالْعَادِيَاتِ ضَبْحًا

By the charging horses panting hard,

WaalAAadiyati dabhan

فَالْمُورِيَاتِ قَدْحًا

striking sparks from their flashing hooves,

Faalmooriyati qadhan

فَالْمُغِيرَاتِ صُبْحًا

raiding at full gallop in the early dawn,

Faalmugheerati subhan

فَأَثَرْنَ بِهِ نَقْعًا

leaving a trailing dust-cloud in their wake,

Faatharna bihi naqAAan

فَوَسَطْنَ بِهِ جَمْعًا

cleaving through the middle of the foe,

Fawasatna bihi jamAAan

إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لِرَبِّهِ لَكَنُودٌ

truly man is ungrateful to his Lord

Inna al-insana lirabbihi lakanoodun

وَإِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ لَشَهِيدٌ

and indeed he bears witness to that.

Wa-innahu AAala thalika lashaheedun

وَإِنَّهُ لِحُبِّ الْخَيْرِ لَشَدِيدٌ

Truly he is fierce in his love of wealth.

Wa-innahu lihubbi alkhayri lashadeedun

أَفَلَا يَعْلَمُ إِذَا بُعْثِرَ مَا فِي الْقُبُورِ

Does he not know that when the graves are emptied out,

Afala yaAAlamu itha buAAthira ma fee alquboori

وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِي الصُّدُورِ

and the heart´s contents are brought into the open,

Wahussila ma fee alssudoori

إِنَّ رَبَّهُم بِهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّخَبِيرٌ

that Day their Lord will certainly be aware of them.

Inna rabbahum bihim yawma-ithin lakhabeerun
