Fazlollah Nikayin, The Quran; The First Poetic Translation (2000)

Sura 102
Worldly Gains
(Al-Takaathur)

In the Name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful

1. The craze for more and more of worldly gains
Has made you fall into a swoon,

2. Until you come unto the tombs;

3. Indeed you shall know soon!

4. Undoubtedly you shall know soon!

5. In fact, if you with certainty had known,

6. The fire of Hell you would have seen;

7. But then, you shall be surely seeing it,
With eyes of certainty,

8. And then, that Day, you shall be questioned
About the blessed Bounty?¹

1. All the blessings and comforts of life granted by God.
