At-Takaathur

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ أَلْهَىٰكُمُ ٱلتَّكَاثُرُ

Al haaku mut takathur

YOU ARE OBSESSED by greed for more and more

حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ ٱلْمَقَابِرَ

Hatta zurtumul-maqaabir

until you go down to your graves.

كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ

Kalla sawfa ta'lamoon

Nay, in time you will come to understand!

ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ

Thumma kalla sawfa ta'lamoon

And once again: Nay, in time you will come to understand!

كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ ٱلْيَقِينِ

Kalla law ta'lamoona 'ilmal yaqeen

Nay, if you could but understand [it] with an understanding [born] of certainty,

لَتَرَوُنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ

Latara-wun nal jaheem

you would indeed, most surely, behold the blazing fire [of hell]!

ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيْنَ ٱلْيَقِينِ

Thumma latara wunnaha 'ainal yaqeen

In the end you will indeed, most surely, behold it with the eye of certainty:

ثُمَّ لَتُسْـَٔلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ

Thumma latus alunna yauma-izin 'anin na'eem

and on that Day you will most surely be called to account for [what you did with] the boon of life!
