হুমাযা (অপবাদ রটনাকারী)

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

1 Woe to every slanderer, defamer,

1 In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Woe to every slanderer and backbiter.

2 Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,

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

2 Who has gathered wealth and counted it.

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

3 He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

6 It is the fire kindled by Allah,

6 The fire of Allah kindled,

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

7 Which rises above the hearts.

7 Which leaps up over the hearts,

8 It shall be made into a vault over them,

8 Surely it shall be closed over upon them,

8 Verily, it shall be closed upon them,

9 In columns outstretched.

9 In extended columns.

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