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!
