Alhakumu alttakathuru
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَلْهَاكُمُ التَّكَاثُرُ
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. The mutual rivalry (for piling up of worldly things) diverts you,

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. The mutual rivalry (for piling up of worldly things) diverts you,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ألهاكم التكاثر
Hatta zurtumu almaqabira
حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ الْمَقَابِرَ
Until you visit the graves (i.e. till you die).
حتى زرتم المقابر
Kalla sawfa taAAlamoona
كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
Nay! You shall come to know!
كلا سوف تعلمون
Thumma kalla sawfa taAAlamoona
ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
Again nay! You shall come to know!
ثم كلا سوف تعلمون
Kalla law taAAlamoona AAilma alyaqeeni
كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ الْيَقِينِ
Nay! If you knew with a sure knowledge (the end result of piling up, you would not have been occupied yourselves in worldly things).
كلا لو تعلمون علم اليقين
Latarawunna aljaheema
لَتَرَوُنَّ الْجَحِيمَ
Verily, You shall see the blazing Fire (Hell)!
لترون الجحيم
Thumma latarawunnaha AAayna alyaqeeni
ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيْنَ الْيَقِينِ
And again, you shall see it with certainty of sight!
ثم لترونها عين اليقين
Thumma latusalunna yawmaithin AAani alnnaAAeemi
ثُمَّ لَتُسْأَلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ النَّعِيمِ
Then on that Day you shall be asked about the delights (you indulged in, in this world)!
ثم لتسألن يومئذ عن النعيم
