Al-Humaza

Waylun likulli humazatin lumazatin

Waylun Likulli Humazatin Lumazahin

Woe to every scandal-monger and slanderer

Allathee jamaAAa malan waAAaddadahu

Al-Ladhī Jama`a Mālāan Wa `Addadahu

who amasses wealth and counts it over

Yahsabu anna malahu akhladahu

Yaĥsabu 'Anna Mālahu 'Akhladahu

He supposes his wealth will make him immortal

Kalla layunbathanna fee alhutamati

Kallā Layunbadhanna Fī Al-Ĥuţamahi

No indeed! He will surely be cast into the Crusher

Wama adraka ma alhutamatu

Wa Mā 'Adrāka Mā Al-Ĥuţamahu

And what will show you what is the Crusher

Naru Allahi almooqadatu

Nāru Allāhi Al-Mūqadahu

[It is] the fire of Allah, set ablaze

Allatee tattaliAAu AAala alafidati

Allatī Taţţali`u `Alá Al-'Af'idahi

which will overspread the hearts

lnnaha AAalayhim musadatun

Innahā `Alayhim Mu'uşadahun

Indeed it will close in upon them

Fee AAamadin mumaddadatin

Fī `Amadin Mumaddadahin

in outstretched columns
