بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
waylun likulli humazatin lumazatin
Woe to every backbiter, slanderer,
alladhī jamaʿa mālan waʿaddadahu
who amasses wealth ˹greedily˺ and counts it ˹repeatedly˺,
yaḥsabu anna mālahu akhladahu
thinking that their wealth will make them immortal!
kallā layunbadhanna fī l-ḥuṭamati
Not at all! Such a person will certainly be tossed into the Crusher.
wamā adrāka mā l-ḥuṭamatu
And what will make you realize what the Crusher is?
nāru l-lahi l-mūqadatu
˹It is˺ Allah’s kindled Fire,
allatī taṭṭaliʿu ʿalā l-afidati
which rages over the hearts.
innahā ʿalayhim mu'ṣadatun
It will be sealed over them,
fī ʿamadin mumaddadatin
˹tightly secured˺ with long braces.
