Woe to every (kind of) scandal - monger and - backbiter,
Waylun likulli humazatin lumazatin

Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,
Allathee jamaAAa malan waAAaddadahu
الذي جمع مالا وعدده
Who has gathered wealth and counted it.
Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!
Yahsabu anna malahu akhladahu
يحسب أن ماله أخلده
He thinks that his wealth will make him last forever!
By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into That which Breaks to Pieces,
Kalla layunbathanna fee alhutamati
كلا ۖ لينبذن في الحطمة
Nay! Verily, he will be thrown into the crushing Fire.
And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?
Wama adraka ma alhutamatu
وما أدراك ما الحطمة
And what will make you know what the crushing Fire is?
(It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze),
Naru Allahi almooqadatu
نار الله الموقدة
The fire of Allah kindled,
The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:
Allatee tattaliAAu AAala alafidati
التي تطلع على الأفئدة
Which leaps up over the hearts,
It shall be made into a vault over them,
lnnaha AAalayhim musadatun
إنها عليهم مؤصدة
Verily, it shall be closed upon them,
In columns outstretched.
Fee AAamadin mumaddadatin
في عمد ممددة
In pillars stretched forth (i.e. they will be punished in the Fire with pillars).
