وَيۡلٞ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٖ لُّمَزَةٍ ١

Woe to every scorner and mocker

ٱلَّذِي جَمَعَ مَالٗا وَعَدَّدَهُۥ ٢

Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it.

يَحۡسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُۥٓ أَخۡلَدَهُۥ ٣

He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.

كـَلَّاۖ لَيُنۢبَذَنَّ فِي ٱلۡحُطَمَةِ ٤

No! He will surely be thrown into the Crusher.

وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلۡحُطَمَةُ ٥

And what can make you know what is the Crusher?

نَارُ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُوقَدَةُ ٦

It is the fire of Allāh, [eternally] fueled,

ٱلَّتِي تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى ٱلۡأَفۡـِٔدَةِ ٧

Which mounts directed at the hearts.

إِنَّهَا عَلَيۡهِم مُّؤۡصَدَةٞ ٨

Indeed, it [i.e., Hellfire] will be closed down upon them

فِي عَمَدٖ مُّمَدَّدَةِۭ ٩

In extended columns.
