سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخشىٰ

He who fears [Allah] will be reminded.

وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا الأَشقَى

But the wretched one will avoid it -

الَّذي يَصلَى النّارَ الكُبرىٰ

[He] who will [enter and] burn in the greatest Fire,

ثُمَّ لا يَموتُ فيها وَلا يَحيىٰ

Neither dying therein nor living.

قَد أَفلَحَ مَن تَزَكّىٰ

He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself

بَل تُؤثِرونَ الحَياةَ الدُّنيا

But you prefer the worldly life,

وَالآخِرَةُ خَيرٌ وَأَبقىٰ

While the Hereafter is better and more enduring.

إِنَّ هـٰذا لَفِي الصُّحُفِ الأولىٰ

Indeed, this is in the former scriptures,

صُحُفِ إِبراهيمَ وَموسىٰ

The scriptures of Abraham and Moses.
