Al-Humazah

وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ ١

Woe unto every slandering traducer,

الَّذِي جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُ ٢

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

يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُ أَخْلَدَهُ ٣

He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal.

كَلَّا ۖ لَيُنبَذَنَّ فِي الْحُطَمَةِ ٤

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

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْحُطَمَةُ ٥

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

نَارُ اللَّهِ الْمُوقَدَةُ ٦

(It is) the fire of Allah, kindled,

الَّتِي تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى الْأَفْئِدَةِ ٧

Which leapeth up over the hearts (of men).

إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِم مُّؤْصَدَةٌ ٨

Lo! it is closed in on them

فِي عَمَدٍ مُّمَدَّدَةٍ ٩

In outstretched columns.
