Sra C.

'Adiyt, Or Those That Run.

In the name of God, Most Gracious,

Most Merciful.

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;"--

p. 1775

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?
