Translation by:
Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
-
وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍۙ
Wailul likulli humazatil-lumazah(tin).
Woe to every backbiter, slanderer,
-
ۨالَّذِيْ جَمَعَ مَالًا وَّعَدَّدَهٗۙ
Allażī jama‘a mālaw wa ‘addadah(ū).
who amasses wealth ˹greedily˺ and counts it ˹repeatedly˺,
-
يَحْسَبُ اَنَّ مَالَهٗٓ اَخْلَدَهٗۚ
Yaḥsabu anna mālahū akhladah(ū).
thinking that their wealth will make them immortal!
-
كَلَّا لَيُنْۢبَذَنَّ فِى الْحُطَمَةِۖ
Kallā layumbażanna fil-ḥuṭamah(ti).
Not at all! Such a person will certainly be tossed into the Crusher.
-
وَمَآ اَدْرٰىكَ مَا الْحُطَمَةُ ۗ
Wa mā adrāka mal-ḥuṭamah(tu).
And what will make you realize what the Crusher is?
-
نَارُ اللّٰهِ الْمُوْقَدَةُۙ
Nārullāhil-mūqadah(tu).
˹It is˺ Allah’s kindled Fire,
-
الَّتِيْ تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى الْاَفْـِٕدَةِۗ
Allatī taṭṭali‘u ‘alal-af'idah(ti).
which rages over the hearts.

اِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِمْ مُّؤْصَدَةٌۙ
Innahā ‘alaihim mu'ṣadah(tun).
It will be sealed over them,
-
فِيْ عَمَدٍ مُّمَدَّدَةٍ ࣖ
Fī ‘amadim mumaddadah(tin).
˹tightly secured˺ with long braces.
