Competition in [worldly] increase diverts you

Competition in [worldly] increase diverts you
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. The mutual rivalry (for piling up of worldly things) diverts you,
Alhakumu alttakathuru
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ألهاكم التكاثر
Until you visit the graveyards.
Until you visit the graves (i.e. till you die).
Hatta zurtumu almaqabira
حتى زرتم المقابر
No! You are going to know.
Nay! You shall come to know!
Kalla sawfa taAAlamoona
كلا سوف تعلمون
Then no! You are going to know.
Again nay! You shall come to know!
Thumma kalla sawfa taAAlamoona
ثم كلا سوف تعلمون
No! If you only knew with knowledge of certainty...
Nay! If you knew with a sure knowledge (the end result of piling up, you would not have been occupied yourselves in worldly things).
Kalla law taAAlamoona AAilma alyaqeeni
كلا لو تعلمون علم اليقين
You will surely see the Hellfire.
Verily, You shall see the blazing Fire (Hell)!
Latarawunna aljaheema
لترون الجحيم
Then you will surely see it with the eye of certainty.
And again, you shall see it with certainty of sight!
Thumma latarawunnaha AAayna alyaqeeni
ثم لترونها عين اليقين
Then you will surely be asked that Day about pleasure.
Then on that Day you shall be asked about the delights (you indulged in, in this world)!
Thumma latusalunna yawmaithin AAani alnnaAAeemi
ثم لتسألن يومئذ عن النعيم
