Alhakumu alttakathuru
The mutual rivalry for piling up (the good things of this world) diverts you (from the more serious things),
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَلْهَاكُمُ التَّكَاثُرُ

Alhakumu alttakathuru
The mutual rivalry for piling up (the good things of this world) diverts you (from the more serious things),
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَلْهَاكُمُ التَّكَاثُرُ
Hatta zurtumu almaqabira
Until ye visit the graves.
حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ الْمَقَابِرَ
Kalla sawfa taAAlamoona
But nay, ye soon shall know (the reality).
كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
Thumma kalla sawfa taAAlamoona
Again, ye soon shall know!
ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
Kalla law taAAlamoona AAilma alyaqeeni
Nay, were ye to know with certainty of mind, (ye would beware!)
كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ الْيَقِينِ
Latarawunna aljaheema
Ye shall certainly see Hell - Fire!
لَتَرَوُنَّ الْجَحِيمَ
Thumma latarawunnaha AAayna alyaqeeni
Again, ye shall see it with certainty of sight!
ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيْنَ الْيَقِينِ
Thumma latusalunna yawmaithin AAani alnnaAAeemi
Then, shall ye be questioned that Day about the joy (ye indulged in!).
ثُمَّ لَتُسْأَلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ النَّعِيمِ
