Alhakumu alttakathuru
Abundance diverts you,
Competition in [worldly] increase diverts you
أَلْهَىٰكُمُ ٱلتَّكَاثُرُ
Hatta zurtumu almaqabira
Until you come to the graves.
Until you visit the graveyards.
حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ ٱلْمَقَابِرَ
Kalla sawfa taAAlamoona
Nay! you shall soon know,
No! You are going to know.
كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
Thumma kalla sawfa taAAlamoona
Nay! Nay! you shall soon know.
Then no! You are going to know.
ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
Kalla law taAAlamoona AAilma alyaqeeni
Nay! if you had known with a certain knowledge,
No! If you only knew with knowledge of certainty...
كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ ٱلْيَقِينِ
Latarawunna aljaheema
You should most certainly have seen the hell;
You will surely see the Hellfire.
لَتَرَوُنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ
Thumma latarawunnaha AAayna alyaqeeni
Then you shall most certainly see it with the eye of certainty;
Then you will surely see it with the eye of certainty.
ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيْنَ ٱلْيَقِينِ
Thumma latusalunna yawmaithin AAani alnnaAAeemi
Then on that day you shall most certainly be questioned about the boons.
Then you will surely be asked that Day about pleasure.
ثُمَّ لَتُسْـَٔلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
