The mutual rivalry for piling up (the good things of this world) diverts you (from the more serious things),

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَلْهَاكُمُ التَّكَاثُرُ
The mutual rivalry for piling up (the good things of this world) diverts you (from the more serious things),
Alhakumu alttakathuru
حتى زرتم المقابر
حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ الْمَقَابِرَ
Until ye visit the graves.
Hatta zurtumu almaqabira
كلا سوف تعلمون
كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
But nay, ye soon shall know (the reality).
Kalla sawfa taAAlamoona
ثم كلا سوف تعلمون
ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
Again, ye soon shall know!
Thumma kalla sawfa taAAlamoona
كلا لو تعلمون علم اليقين
كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ الْيَقِينِ
Nay, were ye to know with certainty of mind, (ye would beware!)
Kalla law taAAlamoona AAilma alyaqeeni
لترون الجحيم
لَتَرَوُنَّ الْجَحِيمَ
Ye shall certainly see Hell - Fire!
Latarawunna aljaheema
ثم لترونها عين اليقين
ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيْنَ الْيَقِينِ
Again, ye shall see it with certainty of sight!
Thumma latarawunnaha AAayna alyaqeeni
ثم لتسألن يومئذ عن النعيم
ثُمَّ لَتُسْأَلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ النَّعِيمِ
Then, shall ye be questioned that Day about the joy (ye indulged in!).
Thumma latusalunna yawmaithin AAani alnnaAAeemi
