shakir
 
1.  *     Woe to every slanderer, defamer,
 
2.  *     Who amasses wealth and considers it a provision (against mishap);
 
3.  *     He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
 
4.  *     Nay! he shall most certainly be hurled into the crushing disaster,
 
5.  *     And what will make you realize what the crushing disaster is?
 
6.  *     It is the fire kindled by Allah,
 
7.  *     Which rises above the hearts.
 
8.  *     Surely it shall be closed over upon them,
 
9.  *     In extended columns.
