بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ويل لكل همزة لمزة
Woe to every slanderer, defamer,
وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ
Who has gathered wealth and counted it.
الذي جمع مالا وعدده
Who amasses wealth and considers it a provision (against mishap);
ٱلَّذِى جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُۥ
He thinks that his wealth will make him last forever!
يحسب أن ماله أخلده
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُۥٓ أَخْلَدَهُۥ
Nay! Verily, he will be thrown into the crushing Fire.
كلا ۖ لينبذن في الحطمة
Nay! he shall most certainly be hurled into the crushing disaster,
كَلَّا لَيُنۢبَذَنَّ فِى ٱلْحُطَمَةِ
And what will make you know what the crushing Fire is?
وما أدراك ما الحطمة
And what will make you realize what the crushing disaster is?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْحُطَمَةُ
The fire of Allah kindled,
نار الله الموقدة
It is the fire kindled by Allah,
نَارُ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُوقَدَةُ
Which leaps up over the hearts,
التي تطلع على الأفئدة
Which rises above the hearts.
ٱلَّتِى تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى ٱلْأَفْـِٔدَةِ
Verily, it shall be closed upon them,
إنها عليهم مؤصدة
Surely it shall be closed over upon them,
إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِم مُّؤْصَدَةٌ
In pillars stretched forth (i.e. they will be punished in the Fire with pillars).
في عمد ممددة
In extended columns.
فِى عَمَدٍ مُّمَدَّدَةٍۭ
