Who hath gathered wealth (of this world) and arranged it.
الذي جمع مالا وعدده
Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it.
He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal.
يحسب أن ماله أخلده

Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One.
كلا ۖ لينبذن في الحطمة
No! He will surely be thrown into the Crusher.
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is!
وما أدراك ما الحطمة
And what can make you know what is the Crusher?
(It is) the fire of Allah, kindled,
نار الله الموقدة
It is the fire of Allah, [eternally] fueled,
Which leapeth up over the hearts (of men).

Lo! it is closed in on them
إنها عليهم مؤصدة
Indeed, Hellfire will be closed down upon them
In outstretched columns.
في عمد ممددة
