In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
Woe to every (kind of) scandal-monger and-backbiter [1]
Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by, [2]
Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever! [3]
Nay! he shall most certainly be hurled into the Hutamah. [4]
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Hutamah is? [5]
It is the fire kindled by Allah [6]
Which leapeth up over the hearts (of men) [7]
Surely it shall be closed over upon them [8]
(While they are bound) In columns outstretched. [9]
