Accountability

لَتَرَوُنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ

You will surely see the Hellfire.

ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيْنَ ٱلْيَقِينِ

Then you will surely see it with the eye of certainty.

ثُمَّ لَتُسْـَٔلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ

Then you will surely be asked that Day about pleasure.

وَٱلْعَصْرِ

By time,

إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ لَفِى خُسْرٍ

Indeed, mankind is in loss,

وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ

Woe to every scorner and mocker

ٱلَّذِى جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُۥ

Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it.

كَلَّا ۖ لَيُنۢبَذَنَّ فِى ٱلْحُطَمَةِ

No! He will surely be thrown into the Crusher.

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْحُطَمَةُ

And what can make you know what is the Crusher?

ٱلَّتِى تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى ٱلْأَفْـِٔدَةِ

Which mounts directed at the hearts.

فِى عَمَدٍ مُّمَدَّدَةٍۭ

In extended columns.

أَرَءَيْتَ ٱلَّذِى يُكَذِّبُ بِٱلدِّينِ

Have you seen the one who denies the Recompense?

فِى جِيدِهَا حَبْلٌ مِّن مَّسَدٍۭ

Around her neck is a rope of [twisted] fiber.
