104. Humeze

وَيۡلٞ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٖ لُّمَزَةٍ

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

ٱلَّذِي جَمَعَ مَالٗا وَعَدَّدَهُۥ

Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,

يَحۡسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُۥٓ أَخۡلَدَهُۥ

Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!

كـَلَّاۖ لَيُنۢبَذَنَّ فِي ٱلۡحُطَمَةِ

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

وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلۡحُطَمَةُ

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

نَارُ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُوقَدَةُ

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

ٱلَّتِي تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى ٱلۡأَفۡـِٔدَةِ

The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:

إِنَّهَا عَلَيۡهِم مُّؤۡصَدَةٞ

It shall be made into a vault over them,

فِي عَمَدٖ مُّمَدَّدَةِۭ

In columns outstretched.
