100: The Courser, the Chargers

1

By the (Steeds) that run, with panting (breath),

2

And strike sparks of fire,

3

And push home the charge in the morning,

4

And raise the dust in clouds the while,

5

And penetrate forthwith into the midst (of the foe) en masse;-

6

Truly man is, to his Lord, ungrateful;

7

And to that (fact) he bears witness (by his deeds);

8

And violent is he in his love of wealth.

9

Does he not know,- when that which is in the graves is scattered abroad

10

And that which is (locked up) in (human) breasts is made manifest-

11

That their Lord had been Well-acquainted with them, (even to) that Day.?
