He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
Yahsabu anna malahu akhladahu

No! He will surely be thrown into the Crusher.
Kalla layunbathanna fee alhutamati
By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into That which Breaks to Pieces,
And what can make you know what is the Crusher?
Wama adraka ma alhutamatu
And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?
It is the fire of Allah, [eternally] fueled,
Naru Allahi almooqadatu
