Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,
Allathee jamaAAa malan waAAaddadahu
الذي جمع مالا وعدده
Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts 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 immortal.
By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into That which Breaks to Pieces,
Kalla layunbathanna fee alhutamati
كلا ۖ لينبذن في الحطمة
No! He will surely be thrown into the Crusher.
And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?
Wama adraka ma alhutamatu
وما أدراك ما الحطمة
And what can make you know what is the Crusher?
(It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze),
Naru Allahi almooqadatu
نار الله الموقدة
It is the fire of Allah, [eternally] fueled,
The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:
Allatee tattaliAAu AAala alafidati
التي تطلع على الأفئدة
Which mounts directed at the hearts.
It shall be made into a vault over them,
lnnaha AAalayhim musadatun
إنها عليهم مؤصدة
Indeed, Hellfire will be closed down upon them
In columns outstretched.
Fee AAamadin mumaddadatin
في عمد ممددة
In extended columns.
