Competition in [worldly] increase diverts you
Alhakumu alttakathuru
أَلْهَىٰكُمُ ٱلتَّكَاثُرُ
Until you come to the graves.
Until you visit the graveyards.
Hatta zurtumu almaqabira
حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ ٱلْمَقَابِرَ
Nay! you shall soon know,
No! You are going to know.
Kalla sawfa taAAlamoona
كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
Nay! Nay! you shall soon know.
Then no! You are going to know.
Thumma kalla sawfa taAAlamoona
ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
Nay! if you had known with a certain knowledge,
No! If you only knew with knowledge of certainty...
Kalla law taAAlamoona AAilma alyaqeeni
كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ ٱلْيَقِينِ

You will surely see the Hellfire.

لَتَرَوُنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ
Then you shall most certainly see it with the eye of certainty;
Then you will surely see it with the eye of certainty.
Thumma latarawunnaha AAayna alyaqeeni
ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيْنَ ٱلْيَقِينِ
Then on that day you shall most certainly be questioned about the boons.
Then you will surely be asked that Day about pleasure.
Thumma latusalunna yawmaithin AAani alnnaAAeemi
ثُمَّ لَتُسْـَٔلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
