بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَلْهَاكُمُ التَّكَاثُرُ

Rivalry in worldly increase distracteth you

حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ الْمَقَابِرَ

Until ye come to the graves.

كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ

Nay, but ye will come to know!

ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ

Nay, but ye will come to know!

كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ الْيَقِينِ

Nay, would that ye knew (now) with a sure knowledge!

لَتَرَوُنَّ الْجَحِيمَ

For ye will behold hell-fire.

ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيْنَ الْيَقِينِ

Aye, ye will behold it with sure vision.

ثُمَّ لَتُسْأَلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ النَّعِيمِ

Then, on that day, ye will be asked concerning pleasure.
