بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَلْهَاكُمُ التَّكَاثُرُ
Gross rivalry diverts you,
حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ الْمَقَابِرَ
even till you visit the tombs.
كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
No indeed; but soon you shall know.
ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
Again, no indeed; but soon you shall know.
كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ الْيَقِينِ
No indeed; did you know with the knowledge of certainty,
لَتَرَوُنَّ الْجَحِيمَ
you shall surely see Hell;
ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيْنَ الْيَقِينِ
Again, you shall surely see it with the eye of certainty
ثُمَّ لَتُسْأَلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ النَّعِيمِ
then you shall be questioned that day concerning true bliss.
