وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا سَقَرُ

Wama adraka ma saqaru

And what will explain to thee what Hell-Fire is?

لَا تُبۡقِي وَلَا تَذَرُ

La tubqee wala tatharu

Naught doth it permit to endure, and naught doth it leave alone!-

لَوَّاحَةٞ لِّلۡبَشَرِ

Lawwahatun lilbashari

Darkening and changing the colour of man!

عَلَيۡهَا تِسۡعَةَ عَشَرَ

AAalayha tisAAata AAashara

Over it are Nineteen.
