Competition in [worldly] increase diverts you
Abundance diverts you,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ألهاكم التكاثر

Until you visit the graveyards.
Until you come to the graves.
حتى زرتم المقابر
حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ ٱلْمَقَابِرَ

كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ

Nay! if you had known with a certain knowledge,

Then you will surely be asked that Day about pleasure.
Then on that day you shall most certainly be questioned about the boons.
