Woe to every scorner and mocker
Woe to every (kind of) scandal - monger and - backbiter,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ويل لكل همزة لمزة
Waylun likulli humazatin lumazatin
Chapter 104, 9 verses
Woe to every scorner and mocker
Woe to every (kind of) scandal - monger and - backbiter,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ويل لكل همزة لمزة
Waylun likulli humazatin lumazatin
Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it.
Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,
الذي جمع مالا وعدده
Allathee jamaAAa malan waAAaddadahu
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!
يحسب أن ماله أخلده
Yahsabu anna malahu akhladahu
No! He will surely be thrown into the Crusher.
By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into That which Breaks to Pieces,
كلا ۖ لينبذن في الحطمة
Kalla layunbathanna fee alhutamati
And what can make you know what is the Crusher?
And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?
وما أدراك ما الحطمة
Wama adraka ma alhutamatu
It is the fire of Allah, [eternally] fueled,
(It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze),
نار الله الموقدة
Naru Allahi almooqadatu
Which mounts directed at the hearts.
The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:
التي تطلع على الأفئدة
Allatee tattaliAAu AAala alafidati
Indeed, Hellfire will be closed down upon them
It shall be made into a vault over them,
إنها عليهم مؤصدة
lnnaha AAalayhim musadatun
In extended columns.
In columns outstretched.
في عمد ممددة
Fee AAamadin mumaddadatin
