وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ ١
Woe to everyone who slanders (face to face) and finds fault (in absence)!
الَّذِي جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُ ٢
(Woe to him) who accumulates wealth and keeps counting it!
يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُ أَخْلَدَهُ ٣
He thinks that his riches will keep him alive forever.
كَلَّا ۖ لَيُنبَذَنَّ فِي الْحُطَمَةِ ٤
By no means! He will certainly be cast into al-Hutama (the crushing up Fire).
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْحُطَمَةُ ٥
And what will make you understand what al-Hutama (the crushing up Fire) is?
نَارُ اللَّهِ الْمُوقَدَةُ ٦
(It) is a Fire kindled by Allah.
الَّتِي تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى الْأَفْئِدَةِ ٧
That will rise over the hearts (with its torture).
إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِم مُّؤْصَدَةٌ ٨
Indeed, that (Fire) will be closed upon them all around,
فِي عَمَدٍ مُّمَدَّدَةٍ ٩
In towering columns (of fierce flames and they will not find any way to escape).
