2 Until ye come to the graves.

2 Until you visit the graves (i.e. till you die).

3 Nay, but ye will come to know!

3 Nay! You shall come to know!

4 Nay, but ye will come to know!

4 Again nay! You shall come to know!

5 Nay, would that ye knew (now) with a sure knowledge!

5 Nay! If you knew with a sure knowledge (the end result of piling up, you would not have been occupied yourselves in worldly things).

6 For ye will behold hell - fire.

6 Verily, You shall see the blazing Fire (Hell)!

7 Aye, ye will behold it with sure vision.

7 And again, you shall see it with certainty of sight!

8 Then, on that day, ye will be asked concerning pleasure.

8 Then on that Day you shall be asked about the delights (you indulged in, in this world)!
