Chapter 102, 8 verses

Nay! You shall come to know!
Nay! you shall soon know,
Nay, but ye will come to know!
Again nay! You shall come to know!
Nay! Nay! you shall soon know.

Nay! If you knew with a sure knowledge (the end result of piling up, you would not have been occupied yourselves in worldly things).
Nay! if you had known with a certain knowledge,
For ye will behold hell - fire.
Verily, You shall see the blazing Fire (Hell)!
You should most certainly have seen the hell;
Aye, ye will behold it with sure vision.
And again, you shall see it with certainty of sight!
Then you shall most certainly see it with the eye of certainty;
Then, on that day, ye will be asked concerning pleasure.
Then on that Day you shall be asked about the delights (you indulged in, in this world)!
Then on that day you shall most certainly be questioned about the boons.
