হুমাযা (অপবাদ রটনাকারী)

1 Woe to every (kind of) scandal - monger and - backbiter,

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

1 Woe to every slanderer, defamer,

2 Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,

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

2 Who amasses wealth and considers it a provision (against mishap);

3 Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!

3 He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal.

3 He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.

4 By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into That which Breaks to Pieces,

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

4 Nay! he shall most certainly be hurled into the crushing disaster,

5 And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?

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

5 And what will make you realize what the crushing disaster is?

6 (It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze),

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

6 It is the fire kindled by Allah,

7 The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:

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

7 Which rises above the hearts.

8 It shall be made into a vault over them,

8 Lo! it is closed in on them

8 Surely it shall be closed over upon them,

9 In columns outstretched.

9 In outstretched columns.

9 In extended columns.
