وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ
[104-1]
Woe to every slanderer, defamer,
الَّذِي جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُ
[104-2]
Who amasses wealth and considers it a provision (against mishap);
يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُ أَخْلَدَهُ
[104-3]
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
كَلَّا لَيُنبَذَنَّ فِي الْحُطَمَةِ
[104-4]
Nay! he shall most certainly be hurled into the crushing disaster,
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْحُطَمَةُ
[104-5]
And what will make you realize what the crushing disaster is?
نَارُ اللَّهِ الْمُوقَدَةُ
[104-6]
It is the fire kindled by Allah,
الَّتِي تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى الْأَفْئِدَةِ
[104-7]
Which rises above the hearts.
إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِم مُّؤْصَدَةٌ
[104-8]
Surely it shall be closed over upon them,
فِي عَمَدٍ مُّمَدَّدَةٍ
[104-9]
In extended columns.
