أَلْهَىٰكُمُ ٱلتَّكَاثُرُ ﴿١﴾

The craving for excess wealth kept you people neglectful.

حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ ٱلْمَقَابِرَ ﴿٢﴾

Until you confronted the graves.

كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٣﴾

Yes certainly, you will soon realise!

ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٤﴾

Again, yes certainly, you will soon realise!

كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ ٱلْيَقِينِ ﴿٥﴾

Yes certainly, if you had believed with certainty, you would not have craved for wealth.

لَتَرَوُنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ ﴿٦﴾

Indeed you will see hell.

ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيْنَ ٱلْيَقِينِ ﴿٧﴾

Again, indeed you will see it with certainty.

ثُمَّ لَتُسْـَٔلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ ﴿٨﴾

Then, on that day, you will surely be questioned regarding the favours.
