إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِالمِرصادِ

Indeed, your Lord is in observation.

فَأَمَّا الإِنسانُ إِذا مَا ابتَلاهُ رَبُّهُ فَأَكرَمَهُ وَنَعَّمَهُ فَيَقولُ رَبّي أَكرَمَنِ

And as for man, when his Lord tries him and [thus] is generous to him and favors him, he says, "My Lord has honored me."

وَأَمّا إِذا مَا ابتَلاهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيهِ رِزقَهُ فَيَقولُ رَبّي أَهانَنِ

But when He tries him and restricts his provision, he says, "My Lord has humiliated me."

كَلّا ۖ بَل لا تُكرِمونَ اليَتيمَ

No! But you do not honor the orphan

وَلا تَحاضّونَ عَلىٰ طَعامِ المِسكينِ

And you do not encourage one another to feed the poor.

وَتُحِبّونَ المالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا

And you love wealth with immense love.

كَلّا إِذا دُكَّتِ الأَرضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا

No! When the earth has been leveled - pounded and crushed -

وَجاءَ رَبُّكَ وَالمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا

And your Lord has come and the angels, rank upon rank,

وَجِيءَ يَومَئِذٍ بِجَهَنَّمَ ۚ يَومَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ الإِنسانُ وَأَنّىٰ لَهُ الذِّكرىٰ

And brought [within view], that Day, is Hell - that Day, man will remember, but what good to him will be the remembrance?

يَقولُ يا لَيتَني قَدَّمتُ لِحَياتي

He will say, "Oh, I wish I had sent ahead [some good] for my life."
