Waylun likulli humazatin lumazatin

Woe to every backbiter and slanderer,

Allathee jamaAAa malan waAAaddadahu

who amasses wealth and counts it over and again[1],

Yahsabu anna malahu akhladahu

thinking that his wealth will make him live forever.

Kalla layunbathanna fee alhutamati

No indeed! He will surely be cast into the Crushing Fire[2],

Wama adraka ma alhutamatu

and how do you know what the Crushing Fire is?

Naru Allahi almooqadatu

It is the kindled Fire of Allah,

Allatee tattaliAAu AAala alafidati

which reaches the hearts[3].

lnnaha AAalayhim musadatun

It will be closed down upon them,

Fee AAamadin mumaddadatin

locked with towering columns[4].
