Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it.
الذي جمع مالا وعدده
Allathee jamaAAa malan waAAaddadahu
Who has gathered wealth and counted it.
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
يحسب أن ماله أخلده
Yahsabu anna malahu akhladahu
He thinks that his wealth will make him last forever!
No! He will surely be thrown into the Crusher.
كلا ۖ لينبذن في الحطمة
Kalla layunbathanna fee alhutamati
Nay! Verily, he will be thrown into the crushing Fire.
And what can make you know what is the Crusher?
وما أدراك ما الحطمة
Wama adraka ma alhutamatu
And what will make you know what the crushing Fire is?
It is the fire of Allah, [eternally] fueled,
نار الله الموقدة
Naru Allahi almooqadatu
The fire of Allah kindled,
Which mounts directed at the hearts.
التي تطلع على الأفئدة
Allatee tattaliAAu AAala alafidati
Which leaps up over the hearts,
Indeed, Hellfire will be closed down upon them
إنها عليهم مؤصدة
lnnaha AAalayhim musadatun
Verily, it shall be closed upon them,
In extended columns.
في عمد ممددة
Fee AAamadin mumaddadatin
In pillars stretched forth (i.e. they will be punished in the Fire with pillars).
