Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,
Who has gathered wealth and counted it.
Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it.
Who amasses wealth and considers it a provision (against mishap);
Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!
He thinks that his wealth will make him last forever!
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
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,
Nay! Verily, he will be thrown into the crushing Fire.
No! He will surely be thrown into the Crusher.
Nay! he shall most certainly be hurled into the crushing disaster,
And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?
And what will make you know what the crushing Fire is?
And what can make you know what is the Crusher?
And what will make you realize what the crushing disaster is?
(It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze),
The fire of Allah kindled,
It is the fire of Allah, [eternally] fueled,
It is the fire kindled by Allah,
The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:
Which leaps up over the hearts,
Which mounts directed at the hearts.
Which rises above the hearts.
It shall be made into a vault over them,
Verily, it shall be closed upon them,
Indeed, Hellfire will be closed down upon them
Surely it shall be closed over upon them,
In columns outstretched.
In pillars stretched forth (i.e. they will be punished in the Fire with pillars).
In extended columns.
In extended columns.
