Nay! Nay! you shall soon know.
Thumma kalla sawfa taAAlamoona

You should most certainly have seen the hell;
Latarawunna aljaheema
لترون الجحيم

Then you shall most certainly see it with the eye of certainty;

ثم لترونها عين اليقين

Then on that day you shall most certainly be questioned about the boons.
Thumma latusalunna yawmaithin AAani alnnaAAeemi
