Surah Al-Humazah

وَيۡلٞ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٖ لُّمَزَةٍ

Wai lul-li kulli hu mazatil-lumaza

Woe to every (kind of) scandal-monger and-backbiter,

ٱلَّذِي جَمَعَ مَالٗا وَعَدَّدَهُۥ

Al-lazi jama'a maalaw wa'addadah

Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,

يَحۡسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُۥٓ أَخۡلَدَهُۥ

Yahsabu anna maalahu akhladah

Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!

كَلَّاۖ لَيُنۢبَذَنَّ فِي ٱلۡحُطَمَةِ

Kalla layum ba zanna fil hutamah

By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into That which Breaks to Pieces,

وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلۡحُطَمَةُ

Wa maa adraaka mal-hutamah

And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?

نَارُ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُوقَدَةُ

Narul laahil-mooqada

(It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze),

ٱلَّتِي تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى ٱلۡأَفۡـِٔدَةِ

Al latee tat tali'u 'alalafidah

The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:

إِنَّهَا عَلَيۡهِم مُّؤۡصَدَةٞ

Innaha 'alaihim moosada

It shall be made into a vault over them,

فِي عَمَدٖ مُّمَدَّدَةِۭ

Fee 'amadim-mu mad dadah

In columns outstretched.
