وَيْلٌ لِكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُمَزَةٍ

WOE unto every slanderer, fault-finder! (1)

الَّذِي جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُ

[Woe unto him] who amasses wealth and counts it a safeguard, (2)

يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُ أَخْلَدَهُ

thinking that his wealth will make him live forever! (3)

كَلَّا لَيُنْبَذَنَّ فِي الْحُطَمَةِ

Nay, but [in the life to come such as] he shall indeed be abandoned to crushing torment! (4)

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْحُطَمَةُ

And what could make thee conceive what that crushing torment will be? (5)

نَارُ اللَّهِ الْمُوقَدَةُ

A fire kindled by God, (6)

الَّتِي تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى الْأَفْئِدَةِ

which will rise over the [guilty] hearts: (7)

إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِمْ مُؤْصَدَةٌ

verily, it will close in upon them (8)

فِي عَمَدٍ مُمَدَّدَةٍ

in endless columns! (9)
