Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,
Allathee jamaAAa malan waAAaddadahu
Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it.
Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!
Yahsabu anna malahu akhladahu
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
No! He will surely be thrown into the Crusher.
And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?
Wama adraka ma alhutamatu
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
It is the fire of Allah, [eternally] fueled,
The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:
Allatee tattaliAAu AAala alafidati
Which mounts directed at the hearts.
It shall be made into a vault over them,
lnnaha AAalayhim musadatun
Indeed, Hellfire will be closed down upon them
In columns outstretched.
Fee AAamadin mumaddadatin
In extended columns.
