_In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful._
By the CHARGERS that pant,
And the hoofs that strike fire,
And the scourers at dawn,
Who stir up the dust with it,
And cleave through a host with it!
Verily Man is thankless towards his Lord,
And verily he is witness thereof,
And verily in his love of weal he is grasping.
Doth he not know?--when what is in the tombs shall be laid open,
And what is in men’s breasts shall be laid bare;
Verily on that day their Lord shall know them well!
