In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto every slandering traducer,
Waylun likulli humazatin lumazatin
Woe to every slanderer, defamer,
وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ
Who hath gathered wealth (of this world) and arranged it.
Allathee jamaAAa malan waAAaddadahu
Who amasses wealth and considers it a provision (against mishap);
ٱلَّذِى جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُۥ
He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal.
Yahsabu anna malahu akhladahu
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُۥٓ أَخْلَدَهُۥ
Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One.
Kalla layunbathanna fee alhutamati
Nay! he shall most certainly be hurled into the crushing disaster,
كَلَّا لَيُنۢبَذَنَّ فِى ٱلْحُطَمَةِ
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is!
Wama adraka ma alhutamatu
And what will make you realize what the crushing disaster is?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْحُطَمَةُ
(It is) the fire of Allah, kindled,
Naru Allahi almooqadatu
It is the fire kindled by Allah,
نَارُ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُوقَدَةُ
Which leapeth up over the hearts (of men).
Allatee tattaliAAu AAala alafidati
Which rises above the hearts.
ٱلَّتِى تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى ٱلْأَفْـِٔدَةِ
Lo! it is closed in on them
lnnaha AAalayhim musadatun
Surely it shall be closed over upon them,
إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِم مُّؤْصَدَةٌ
In outstretched columns.
Fee AAamadin mumaddadatin
In extended columns.
فِى عَمَدٍ مُّمَدَّدَةٍۭ
