100. Al-'Adiyat - The Assaulters

1I CALL TO witness the chargers, snorting, rushing to battle before the others,
2Then those striking sparks of fire,
3Then those charging in the morning
4Raising clouds of dust,
5Penetrating deep into the armies,
6That man is ungrateful to his Lord
7And is himself witness to it,
8And is intractable in his love of worldly goods.
9Does he not know when the contents of the graves are laid bare
10And the secrets of the hearts exposed,
11Surely their Lord will be aware of their (deeds).
