وَالْعٰدِيٰتِ ضَبْحًاۙ

wal-'ādiyāti ḍab-ḥā

I CALL TO witness the chargers snorting rushing to battle before the others

فَالْمُوْرِيٰتِ قَدْحًاۙ

fal-mụriyāti qad-ḥā

Then those striking sparks of fire

فَالْمُغِيْرٰتِ صُبْحًاۙ

fal-mugīrāti ṣub-ḥā

Then those charging in the morning

فَاَثَرْنَ بِهٖ نَقْعًاۙ

fa aṡarna bihī naq'ā

Raising clouds of dust

فَوَسَطْنَ بِهٖ جَمْعًاۙ

fa wasaṭna bihī jam'ā

Penetrating deep into the armies

اِنَّ الْاِنْسَانَ لِرَبِّهٖ لَكَنُوْدٌ ۚ

innal-insāna lirabbihī lakanụd

That man is ungrateful to his Lord

وَاِنَّهٗ عَلٰى ذٰلِكَ لَشَهِيْدٌۚ

wa innahụ 'alā żālika lasyahīd

And is himself witness to it

وَاِنَّهٗ لِحُبِّ الْخَيْرِ لَشَدِيْدٌ ۗ

wa innahụ liḥubbil-khairi lasyadīd

And is intractable in his love of worldly goods.

۞ اَفَلَا يَعْلَمُ اِذَا بُعْثِرَ مَا فِى الْقُبُوْرِۙ

a fa lā ya'lamu iżā bu'ṡira mā fil-qubụr

Does he not know when the contents of the graves are laid bare

وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِى الصُّدُوْرِۙ

wa huṣṣila mā fiṣ-ṣudụr

And the secrets of the hearts exposed

اِنَّ رَبَّهُمْ بِهِمْ يَوْمَىِٕذٍ لَّخَبِيْرٌ

inna rabbahum bihim yauma`iżil lakhabīr

Surely their Lord will be aware of their (deeds).
