At-Takaathur

Striving for more distracts you

أَلْهَاكُمُ التَّكَاثُرُ

alhākumu l-takāthuru

until you go into your graves.

حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ الْمَقَابِرَ

ḥattā zur'tumu l-maqābira

No indeed! You will come to know.

كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ

kallā sawfa taʿlamūna

No indeed! In the end you will come to know.

ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ

thumma kallā sawfa taʿlamūna

No indeed! If only you knew for certain.

كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ الْيَقِينِ

kallā law taʿlamūna ʿil'ma l-yaqīni

You will most definitely see Hellfire,

لَتَرَوُنَّ الْجَحِيمَ

latarawunna l-jaḥīma

you will see it with the eye of certainty.

ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيْنَ الْيَقِينِ

thumma latarawunnahā ʿayna l-yaqīni

On that Day, you will be asked about your pleasures.

ثُمَّ لَتُسْأَلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ النَّعِيمِ

thumma latus'alunna yawma-idhin ʿani l-naʿīmi
