وَيْلٌۭ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍۢ لُّمَزَةٍ ﴿١﴾

Woe unto every backbiter, slanderer,

ٱلَّذِى جَمَعَ مَالًۭا وَعَدَّدَهُۥ ﴿٢﴾

who has gathered riches and counted them over

يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُۥٓ أَخْلَدَهُۥ ﴿٣﴾

thinking his riches have made him immortal!

كَلَّا ۖ لَيُنۢبَذَنَّ فِى ٱلْحُطَمَةِ ﴿٤﴾

No indeed; he shall be thrust into the Crusher;

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْحُطَمَةُ ﴿٥﴾

and what shall teach thee what is the Crusher;

نَارُ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُوقَدَةُ ﴿٦﴾

The Fire of God kindled

ٱلَّتِى تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى ٱلْأَفْـِٔدَةِ ﴿٧﴾

roaring over the hearts

إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِم مُّؤْصَدَةٌۭ ﴿٨﴾

covered down upon them,

فِى عَمَدٍۢ مُّمَدَّدَةٍۭ ﴿٩﴾

in columns outstretched.
