بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

وَيۡلࣱ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةࣲ لُّمَزَةٍ (1)

Woe to every (kind of) scandal-monger and-backbiter

ٱلَّذِي جَمَعَ مَالࣰ ا وَعَدَّدَهُۥ (2)

Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by

يَحۡسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُۥٓ أَخۡلَدَهُۥ (3)

Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever

كَلَّاۖ لَيُنۢبَذَنَّ فِي ٱلۡحُطَمَةِ (4)

By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into That which Breaks to Pieces

وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلۡحُطَمَةُ (5)

And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces

نَارُ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُوقَدَةُ (6)

ٱلَّتِي تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى ٱلۡأَفۡـِٔدَةِ (7)

The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts

إِنَّهَا عَلَيۡهِم مُّؤۡصَدَةࣱ‏ (8)

It shall be made into a vault over them

فِي عَمَدࣲ مُّمَدَّدَةِۭ (9)

In columns outstretched
