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 (kind of) scandal - monger and - backbiter,
Who has gathered wealth and counted it.
Allathee jamaAAa malan waAAaddadahu
الذي جمع مالا وعدده
Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,
He thinks that his wealth will make him last forever!
Yahsabu anna malahu akhladahu
يحسب أن ماله أخلده
Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!
Nay! Verily, he will be thrown into the crushing Fire.
Kalla layunbathanna fee alhutamati
كلا ۖ لينبذن في الحطمة
By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into That which Breaks to Pieces,
And what will make you know what the crushing Fire is?
Wama adraka ma alhutamatu
وما أدراك ما الحطمة
And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?
The fire of Allah kindled,
Naru Allahi almooqadatu
نار الله الموقدة
(It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze),
Which leaps up over the hearts,
Allatee tattaliAAu AAala alafidati
التي تطلع على الأفئدة
The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:
Verily, it shall be closed upon them,
lnnaha AAalayhim musadatun
إنها عليهم مؤصدة
It shall be made into a vault over them,
In pillars stretched forth (i.e. they will be punished in the Fire with pillars).
Fee AAamadin mumaddadatin
في عمد ممددة
In columns outstretched.
