الذي جمع مالا وعدده
Allathee jamaAAa malan waAAaddadahu
Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,
Who hath gathered wealth (of this world) and arranged it.
يحسب أن ماله أخلده
Yahsabu anna malahu akhladahu

Kalla layunbathanna fee alhutamati

Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One.
وما أدراك ما الحطمة
Wama adraka ma alhutamatu
And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is!
نار الله الموقدة
Naru Allahi almooqadatu

(It is) the fire of Allah, kindled,

Which leapeth up over the hearts (of men).

Lo! it is closed in on them

In outstretched columns.
