Surah “The Courser, The Chargers, The Assulters”

as rendered by Aisha Bewley — 11 verses

By the charging horses panting hard,
striking sparks from their flashing hooves,
raiding at full gallop in the early dawn,
leaving a trailing dust-cloud in their wake,
cleaving through the middle of the foe,
truly man is ungrateful to his Lord
and indeed he bears witness to that.
Truly he is fierce in his love of wealth.
Does he not know that when the graves are emptied out,
and the heart´s contents are brought into the open,
that Day their Lord will certainly be aware of them.
