كَلّا ۖ إِنَّها لَظىٰ

No indeed! It is a blazing flame.

نَزّاعَةً لِلشَّوىٰ

Stripping away the scalps.

تَدعو مَن أَدبَرَ وَتَوَلّىٰ

Calling those who turned their backs and fled.

وَجَمَعَ فَأَوعىٰ

And hoarded and stored away.

إِنَّ الإِنسانَ خُلِقَ هَلوعًا

Man was created anxious.

وَإِذا مَسَّهُ الخَيرُ مَنوعًا

And tight-fisted when good reaches him.

إِلَّا المُصَلّينَ

Except for those who pray.

الَّذينَ هُم عَلىٰ صَلاتِهِم دائِمونَ

Who remain constant in their prayers.

وَالَّذينَ في أَموالِهِم حَقٌّ مَعلومٌ

And in whose wealth is a known right.

لِلسّائِلِ وَالمَحرومِ

For the asker and the deprived.
