بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ويل لكل همزة لمزة
Waylun likulli humazatin lumazatin
Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it.
Who has gathered wealth and counted it.
الذي جمع مالا وعدده
Allathee jamaAAa malan waAAaddadahu
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
He thinks that his wealth will make him last forever!
يحسب أن ماله أخلده
Yahsabu anna malahu akhladahu
No! He will surely be thrown into the Crusher.
Nay! Verily, he will be thrown into the crushing Fire.
كلا ۖ لينبذن في الحطمة
Kalla layunbathanna fee alhutamati
And what can make you know what is the Crusher?
And what will make you know what the crushing Fire is?
وما أدراك ما الحطمة
Wama adraka ma alhutamatu
It is the fire of Allah, [eternally] fueled,
The fire of Allah kindled,
نار الله الموقدة
Naru Allahi almooqadatu
Which mounts directed at the hearts.
Which leaps up over the hearts,

Allatee tattaliAAu AAala alafidati
Indeed, Hellfire will be closed down upon them
Verily, it shall be closed upon them,
إنها عليهم مؤصدة
lnnaha AAalayhim musadatun
In extended columns.
In pillars stretched forth (i.e. they will be punished in the Fire with pillars).
في عمد ممددة
Fee AAamadin mumaddadatin
