Yusuf Ali
The mutual rivalry for piling up (the good things of this world) diverts you (from the more serious things),
Shakir
Abundance diverts you,
Yusuf Ali
Until ye visit the graves.
Shakir
Until you come to the graves.
Yusuf Ali
But nay, ye soon shall know (the reality).
Shakir
Nay! you shall soon know,
Yusuf Ali
Again, ye soon shall know!
Shakir
Nay! Nay! you shall soon know.
Yusuf Ali
Nay, were ye to know with certainty of mind, (ye would beware!)
Shakir
Nay! if you had known with a certain knowledge,
Yusuf Ali
Ye shall certainly see Hell - Fire!
Shakir
You should most certainly have seen the hell;
Yusuf Ali
Again, ye shall see it with certainty of sight!
Shakir
Then you shall most certainly see it with the eye of certainty;
Yusuf Ali
Then, shall ye be questioned that Day about the joy (ye indulged in!).
Shakir
Then on that day you shall most certainly be questioned about the boons.
