At-Takaathur

Al haaku mut takathur

YOU ARE OBSESSED by greed for more and more

Hatta zurtumul-maqaabir

until you go down to your graves.

Kalla sawfa ta'lamoon

Nay, in time you will come to understand!

Thumma kalla sawfa ta'lamoon

And once again: Nay, in time you will come to understand!

Kalla law ta'lamoona 'ilmal yaqeen

Nay, if you could but understand [it] with an understanding [born] of certainty,

Latara-wun nal jaheem

you would indeed, most surely, behold the blazing fire [of hell]!

Thumma latara wunnaha 'ainal yaqeen

In the end you will indeed, most surely, behold it with the eye of certainty:

Thumma latus alunna yauma-izin 'anin na'eem

and on that Day you will most surely be called to account for [what you did with] the boon of life!
