In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Rivalry in worldly increase distracteth you
Alhakumu alttakathuru
Abundance diverts you,
أَلْهَىٰكُمُ ٱلتَّكَاثُرُ
Until ye come to the graves.
Hatta zurtumu almaqabira
Until you come to the graves.
حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ ٱلْمَقَابِرَ
Nay, but ye will come to know!
Kalla sawfa taAAlamoona
Nay! you shall soon know,
كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
Nay, but ye will come to know!
Thumma kalla sawfa taAAlamoona
Nay! Nay! you shall soon know.
ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
Nay, would that ye knew (now) with a sure knowledge!
Kalla law taAAlamoona AAilma alyaqeeni
Nay! if you had known with a certain knowledge,
كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ ٱلْيَقِينِ
For ye will behold hell - fire.
Latarawunna aljaheema
You should most certainly have seen the hell;
لَتَرَوُنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ
Aye, ye will behold it with sure vision.
Thumma latarawunnaha AAayna alyaqeeni
Then you shall most certainly see it with the eye of certainty;
ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيْنَ ٱلْيَقِينِ
Then, on that day, ye will be asked concerning pleasure.
Thumma latusalunna yawmaithin AAani alnnaAAeemi
Then on that day you shall most certainly be questioned about the boons.
ثُمَّ لَتُسْـَٔلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
