হুমাযা (অপবাদ রটনাকারী)

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto every slandering traducer,

1 Woe to every scorner and mocker

2 Who hath gathered wealth (of this world) and arranged it.

2 Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it.

3 He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal.

3 He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.

4 Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One.

4 No! He will surely be thrown into the Crusher.

5 Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is!

5 And what can make you know what is the Crusher?

6 (It is) the fire of Allah, kindled,

6 It is the fire of Allah, [eternally] fueled,

7 Which leapeth up over the hearts (of men).

7 Which mounts directed at the hearts.

8 Lo! it is closed in on them

8 Indeed, Hellfire will be closed down upon them

9 In outstretched columns.

9 In extended columns.
