أَلْهَاكُمُ التَّكَاثُرُ ١

Rivalry in worldly increase distracteth you

حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ الْمَقَابِرَ ٢

Until ye come to the graves.

كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ٣

Nay, but ye will come to know!

ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ٤

Nay, but ye will come to know!

كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ الْيَقِينِ ٥

Nay, would that ye knew (now) with a sure knowledge!

لَتَرَوُنَّ الْجَحِيمَ ٦

For ye will behold hell-fire.

ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيْنَ الْيَقِينِ ٧

Aye, ye will behold it with sure vision.

ثُمَّ لَتُسْأَلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ النَّعِيمِ ٨

Then, on that day, ye will be asked concerning pleasure.
