1 |
Woe to every (kind of) scandal-monger and-backbiter, |
Woe unto every slandering traducer, |
Woe to every slanderer, defamer, |
|
|
2 |
Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by, |
Who hath gathered wealth (of this world) and arranged it. |
Who amasses wealth and considers it a provision (against mishap); |
|
|
3 |
Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever! |
He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal. |
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal. |
|
|
4 |
By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into That which Breaks to Pieces, |
Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One. |
Nay! he shall most certainly be hurled into the crushing disaster, |
|
|
5 |
And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces? |
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is! |
And what will make you realize what the crushing disaster is? |
|
|
6 |
(It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze), |
(It is) the fire of Allah, kindled, |
It is the fire kindled by Allah, |
|
|
7 |
The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts: |
Which leapeth up over the hearts (of men). |
Which rises above the hearts. |
|
|
8 |
It shall be made into a vault over them, |
Lo! it is closed in on them |
Surely it shall be closed over upon them, |
|
|
9 |
In columns outstretched. |
In outstretched columns. |
In extended columns. |
