بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

бисмиль-лəhир-рōhмəəнир-рōhиим

In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.

أَلْهَىٰكُمُ ٱلتَّكَاثُرُ

əльhəəкумут-тəкəəc̃ур

Rivalry [and vainglory] distracted you

حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ ٱلْمَقَابِرَ

həттəə зуртумуль-мəќōōбир

until you visited [even] the graves.

كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ

кəльлəə сəуфə тə'лəмуун

No indeed, soon you will know!

ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ

c̃уммə кəльлəə сəуфə тə'лəмуун

No indeed, soon you will know for yet another time!

كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ ٱلْيَقِينِ

кəльлəə лəу тə'лəмуунə 'ильмəль-йəќиин

Indeed, were you to know with certain knowledge,

لَتَرَوُنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ

лəтəрōвуннəль-джəhиим

you would have surely seen hell [in this very life].

ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيْنَ ٱلْيَقِينِ

c̃уммə лəтəрōвуннəhəə 'əйнəль-йəќиин

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

ثُمَّ لَتُسْـَٔلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ

c̃уммə лəтус`əлюннə йəумə`из̃ин 'əнин-нə'иим

Then, on that day, you will surely be questioned concerning the Blessing.
