بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ويل لكل همزة لمزة
Wehe jedem Stichler und Nörgler,
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Woe to every slanderer and backbiter.

Woe to every scorner and mocker
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ويل لكل همزة لمزة
Wehe jedem Stichler und Nörgler,
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Woe to every slanderer and backbiter.
Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it.
الذي جمع مالا وعدده
der Besitz zusammenträgt und ihn zählt und immer wieder zählt,
Who has gathered wealth and counted it.
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
يحسب أن ماله أخلده
wobei er meint, daß sein Besitz ihn ewig leben ließe!
He thinks that his wealth will make him last forever!
No! He will surely be thrown into the Crusher.
كلا ۖ لينبذن في الحطمة
Keineswegs! Er wird ganz gewiß in al-Hutama geworfen werden.
Nay! Verily, he will be thrown into the crushing Fire.
And what can make you know what is the Crusher?
وما أدراك ما الحطمة
Was läßt dich wissen, was al-Hutama ist?
And what will make you know what the crushing Fire is?
It is the fire of Allah, [eternally] fueled,
نار الله الموقدة
(Sie ist) Allahs entfachtes Feuer,
The fire of Allah kindled,
Which mounts directed at the hearts.
التي تطلع على الأفئدة
das Einblick in die Herzen gewinnt.
Which leaps up over the hearts,
Indeed, Hellfire will be closed down upon them
إنها عليهم مؤصدة
Gewiß, es wird sie einschließen
Verily, it shall be closed upon them,
In extended columns.
في عمد ممددة
in langgestreckten Säulen.
In pillars stretched forth (i.e. they will be punished in the Fire with pillars).
