Woe to every slanderer, defamer,

Who amasses wealth and considers it a provision (against mishap);
der Besitz zusammenträgt und ihn zählt und immer wieder zählt,
Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
wobei er meint, daß sein Besitz ihn ewig leben ließe!
Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!
Nay! he shall most certainly be hurled into the crushing disaster,
Keineswegs! Er wird ganz gewiß in al-Hutama geworfen werden.
By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into That which Breaks to Pieces,
And what will make you realize what the crushing disaster is?
Was läßt dich wissen, was al-Hutama ist?
And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?
It is the fire kindled by Allah,
(Sie ist) Allahs entfachtes Feuer,
(It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze),
Which rises above the hearts.
das Einblick in die Herzen gewinnt.
The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:
Surely it shall be closed over upon them,
Gewiß, es wird sie einschließen
It shall be made into a vault over them,
In extended columns.
in langgestreckten Säulen.
In columns outstretched.
