وَيْلٌ لِكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُمَزَةٍ (1)

WOE TO EVERY slanderer, back-biter,

الَّذِي جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُ (2)

Who amasses wealth and hordes it.

يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُ أَخْلَدَهُ (3)

Does he think his wealth will abide for ever with him?

كَلَّا ۖ لَيُنْبَذَنَّ فِي الْحُطَمَةِ (4)

By no means. He will be thrown into Hutama.

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْحُطَمَةُ (5)

How will you comprehend what Hutama is?

نَارُ اللَّهِ الْمُوقَدَةُ (6)

It is the fire kindled by God

الَّتِي تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى الْأَفْئِدَةِ (7)

Which penetrates the hearts

إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِمْ مُؤْصَدَةٌ (8)

(And) vaults them over

فِي عَمَدٍ مُمَدَّدَةٍ (9)

In extending columns.
