بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

أَلْهَىٰكُمُ ٱلتَّكَاثُرُ ﴿١﴾

The mutual rivalry for piling up (the good things of this world) diverts you (from the more serious things), 102:1

حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ ٱلْمَقَابِرَ ﴿٢﴾

Until ye visit the graves. 102:2

كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٣﴾

But nay, ye soon shall know (the reality). 102:3

ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٤﴾

Again, ye soon shall know! 102:4

كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ ٱلْيَقِينِ ﴿٥﴾

Nay, were ye to know with certainty of mind, (ye would beware!) 102:5

لَتَرَوُنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ ﴿٦﴾

Ye shall certainly see Hell-Fire! 102:6

ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيْنَ ٱلْيَقِينِ ﴿٧﴾

Again, ye shall see it with certainty of sight! 102:7

ثُمَّ لَتُسْـَٔلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ ﴿٨﴾

Then, shall ye be questioned that Day about the joy (ye indulged in!). 102:8
