1 Waylun likulli humazatin lumazatin

2 Who has gathered wealth and counted it.

2 Allathee jamaAAa malan waAAaddadahu

3 He thinks that his wealth will make him last forever!

3 Yahsabu anna malahu akhladahu

4 Nay! Verily, he will be thrown into the crushing Fire.

4 Kalla layunbathanna fee alhutamati

5 And what will make you know what the crushing Fire is?

5 Wama adraka ma alhutamatu

6 The fire of Allah kindled,

6 Naru Allahi almooqadatu

7 Which leaps up over the hearts,

7 Allatee tattaliAAu AAala alafidati

8 Verily, it shall be closed upon them,

8 lnnaha AAalayhim musadatun

9 In pillars stretched forth (i.e. they will be punished in the Fire with pillars).

9 Fee AAamadin mumaddadatin
