1 . Woe unto every slandering traducer ,
2 . Who hath gathered wealth ( of this world ) and arranged it .
3 . He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal .
4 . Nay , but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One .
5 . Ah , what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is!
6 . ( It is ) the fire of Allah , kindled ,
7 . Which leapeth up over the hearts ( of men ) .
8 . Lo! it is closed in on them
9 . In outstretched columns .
