بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِیمِ أَلۡهَىٰكُمُ ٱلتَّكَاثُرُ
YOU ARE OBSESSED by greed for more and more
2
حَتَّىٰ زُرۡتُمُ ٱلۡمَقَابِرَ
until you go down to your graves.
3
كَلَّا سَوۡفَ تَعۡلَمُونَ
Nay, in time you will come to understand!
4
ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوۡفَ تَعۡلَمُونَ
And once again: Nay, in time you will come to understand!
5
كَلَّا لَوۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ عِلۡمَ ٱلۡیَقِینِ
Nay, if you could but understand [it] with an understanding [born] of certainty,
6
لَتَرَوُنَّ ٱلۡجَحِیمَ
you would indeed, most surely, behold the blazing fire [of hell]!
7
ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَیۡنَ ٱلۡیَقِینِ
In the end you will indeed, most surely, behold it with the eye of certainty:
8
ثُمَّ لَتُسۡـَٔلُنَّ یَوۡمَىِٕذٍ عَنِ ٱلنَّعِیمِ
and on that Day you will most surely be called to account for [what you did with] the boon of life!
