Al-Humaza

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَيْلٌ لِكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُمَزَةٍ

Woe unto every slandering traducer,

الَّذِي جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُ

Who hath gathered wealth (of this world) and arranged it.

يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُ أَخْلَدَهُ

He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal.

كَلَّا ۖ لَيُنْبَذَنَّ فِي الْحُطَمَةِ

Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One.

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْحُطَمَةُ

Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is!

نَارُ اللَّهِ الْمُوقَدَةُ

(It is) the fire of Allah, kindled,

الَّتِي تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى الْأَفْئِدَةِ

Which leapeth up over the hearts (of men).

إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِمْ مُؤْصَدَةٌ

Lo! it is closed in on them

فِي عَمَدٍ مُمَدَّدَةٍ

In outstretched columns.
