The Qur'an (Palmer)/Adiyat

The Chapter of the Chargers.

(Ⅽ. Mecca.)

In the name of the merciful and compassionate God.

By the snorting chargers !

And those who strike fire with their hoofs !

And those who make incursions in the morning,

And raise up dust therein,

⁵ And cleave through a host therein !

Verily, man is to his Lord ungrateful ; and, verily, he is a witness of that.

Verily, he is keen in his love of good.

Does he not know when the tombs are exposed,

¹⁰ and what is in the breasts is brought to light ?

Verily, thy Lord upon that day indeed is well aware.
