plunging thereby into the midst of the enemy[4],

Inna alinsana lirabbihi lakanoodun

indeed, man is very ungrateful to his Lord[5] –

Wainnahu AAala thalika lashaheedun

Wainnahu lihubbi alkhayri lashadeedun

and he is truly extreme in his love of wealth.

Afala yaAAlamu itha buAAthira ma fee alquboori

Does he not know that when the contents of graves will be overturned,

Wahussila ma fee alssudoori
