Sra Cii.

\"TAKATHUR" Or Piling Up.

In the name of God, Most Gracious,

Most Merciful.

1. The mutual rivalry

For piling up (the good things

Of this world) diverts you

(From the more serious things),

2. Until ye visit the graves.

3. But nay, ye soon shall

Know (the reality).

4. Again, ye soon shall know!

5. Nay, were ye to know

With certainty of mind,

(Ye would beware!)

6. Ye shall certainly see

Hell-fire!

7. Again, ye shall see it

With certainty of sight!

p. 1781

8. Then, shall ye be

Questioned that Day

About the joy

(Ye indulged in!)
