1.  *     Woe unto every slandering traducer,
 
2.  *     Who hath gathered wealth (of this world) and arranged it.
 
3.  *     He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal.
 
4.  *     Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One.
 
5.  *     Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is!
 
6.  *     (It is) the fire of Allah, kindled,
 
7.  *     Which leapeth up over the hearts (of men).
 
8.  *     Lo! it is closed in on them
 
9.  *     In outstretched columns.
