In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

Woe unto every slandering traducer * 1 

Who hath gathered wealth (of this world) and arranged it * 2 

He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal * 3 

Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One * 4 

Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is * 5 

It is the fire of Allah, kindled * 6 

Which leapeth up over the hearts of men * 7 

Lo! it is closed in on them * 8 

In outstretched columns * 9
