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

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