1

أَلۡهَىٰكُمُ ٱلتَّكَاثُرُ

The mutual rivalry (for piling up of worldly things) diverts you,

2

حَتَّىٰ زُرۡتُمُ ٱلۡمَقَابِرَ

Until you visit the graves (i.e. till you die).

3

كـَلَّا سَوۡفَ تَعۡلَمُونَ

Nay! You shall come to know!

4

ثُمَّ كـَلَّا سَوۡفَ تَعۡلَمُونَ

Again nay! You shall come to know!

5

كـَلَّا لَوۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ عِلۡمَ ٱلۡيَقِينِ

Nay! If you knew with a sure knowledge (the end result of piling up, you would not have been occupied yourselves in worldly things).

6

لَتَرَوُنَّ ٱلۡجَحِيمَ

Verily, You shall see the blazing Fire (Hell)!

7

ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيۡنَ ٱلۡيَقِينِ

And again, you shall see it with certainty of sight!

ثُمَّ لَتُسۡـَٔلُنَّ يَوۡمَئِذٍ عَنِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ

Then on that Day you shall be asked about the delights (you indulged in, in this world)!
