In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Woe to every slanderer and backbiter.
Waylun likulli humazatin lumazatin
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ويل لكل همزة لمزة
Woe to every scorner and mocker
Who has gathered wealth and counted it.
Allathee jamaAAa malan waAAaddadahu
الذي جمع مالا وعدده
Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it.
He thinks that his wealth will make him last forever!
Yahsabu anna malahu akhladahu
يحسب أن ماله أخلده
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
Nay! Verily, he will be thrown into the crushing Fire.
Kalla layunbathanna fee alhutamati
كلا ۖ لينبذن في الحطمة
No! He will surely be thrown into the Crusher.
And what will make you know what the crushing Fire is?
Wama adraka ma alhutamatu
وما أدراك ما الحطمة
And what can make you know what is the Crusher?
The fire of Allah kindled,
Naru Allahi almooqadatu
نار الله الموقدة
It is the fire of Allah, [eternally] fueled,
Which leaps up over the hearts,
Allatee tattaliAAu AAala alafidati
التي تطلع على الأفئدة
Which mounts directed at the hearts.
Verily, it shall be closed upon them,
lnnaha AAalayhim musadatun
إنها عليهم مؤصدة
Indeed, Hellfire will be closed down upon them
In pillars stretched forth (i.e. they will be punished in the Fire with pillars).
Fee AAamadin mumaddadatin
في عمد ممددة
In extended columns.
