Woe to every (kind of) scandal - monger and - backbiter,
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto every slandering traducer,
Waylun likulli humazatin lumazatin

Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,
Who hath gathered wealth (of this world) and arranged it.

Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!
He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal.

By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into That which Breaks to Pieces,
Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One.
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?
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is!

It is the fire of Allah, [eternally] fueled,
(It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze),
(It is) the fire of Allah, kindled,

The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:
Which leapeth up over the hearts (of men).

Indeed, Hellfire will be closed down upon them
It shall be made into a vault over them,
Lo! it is closed in on them

In outstretched columns.
