Al-'Adiyat swears by the war horses charging at dawn, striking sparks and raising dust, to expose a hidden truth: man is ungrateful to his Lord — and he himself is a witness to it — and intense in his love of wealth. Does he not know that when graves are overturned, what is within breasts is made apparent?
