بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ ﴿٠﴾
أَلْهَىٰكُمُ ٱلتَّكَاثُرُ ﴿١﴾
Abundance diverts you,
حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ ٱلْمَقَابِرَ ﴿٢﴾
Until you come to the graves.
كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٣﴾
Nay! you shall soon know,
ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٤﴾
Nay! Nay! you shall soon know.
كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ ٱلْيَقِينِ ﴿٥﴾
Nay! if you had known with a certain knowledge,
لَتَرَوُنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ ﴿٦﴾
You should most certainly have seen the hell;
ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيْنَ ٱلْيَقِينِ ﴿٧﴾
Then you shall most certainly see it with the eye of certainty;
ثُمَّ لَتُسْـَٔلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ ﴿٨﴾
Then on that day you shall most certainly be questioned about the boons.
