Alhakumu alttakathuru

Until you visit the graveyards.
حتى زرتم المقابر
Hatta zurtumu almaqabira
Until you visit the graves (i.e. till you die).
No! You are going to know.
كلا سوف تعلمون
Kalla sawfa taAAlamoona
Nay! You shall come to know!
Then no! You are going to know.
ثم كلا سوف تعلمون
Thumma kalla sawfa taAAlamoona
Again nay! You shall come to know!
No! If you only knew with knowledge of certainty...
كلا لو تعلمون علم اليقين
Kalla law taAAlamoona AAilma alyaqeeni
Nay! If you knew with a sure knowledge (the end result of piling up, you would not have been occupied yourselves in worldly things).
You will surely see the Hellfire.
لترون الجحيم
Latarawunna aljaheema

Then you will surely see it with the eye of certainty.
ثم لترونها عين اليقين
Thumma latarawunnaha AAayna alyaqeeni
And again, you shall see it with certainty of sight!
Then you will surely be asked that Day about pleasure.
ثم لتسألن يومئذ عن النعيم
Thumma latusalunna yawmaithin AAani alnnaAAeemi
Then on that Day you shall be asked about the delights (you indulged in, in this world)!
